ARB rear locker questions

[britton406]

First off, I am not sure which part number I need for the rear locker. I have searched, and I know other 4th gens have rear ARB air lockers so I was stumped when the 4wheel parts guy told me they don't make one for the rear, only the front. :bash:
Simply put, I don't want to deal with the front. for what I expect to be doing, the rear would be more than adequate. With that said, does anyone know if they still make it for the rear? Its one of the upgrades I've been looking forward to doing this summer :sobbing:

Alos, I was wondering if there are any drawback to adding it? Im not planning on changing the gearing either.. thanks!

1988-10 V6, 2WD, 45mm bearing ID 33 (1.31") 30 All RD132

I think the RD23 is the older version of the RD132, the guys who installed lockers prior to 06 have RD23 and after have RD132.

Tell the 4WheelParts guys just look at the ARB Air Locker application guide it clearly says the model needed.

Perfect! yea, I dont know what those guys are thinking.. just last week they were telling me there was no way to add a spacer lift to my T4R, so i had to do it myself
