Ive never installed one

but i do have a posi lock kit, i have the 2wd low range when i engage into four wheel drive and just dont lock the front axle. It works great for trailers in super tight places.... i like it...

The kit cannot be too hard to install, but i cannot say that i have experience with one, just the posilock...

Don,
2wd low kits work great. You'll love the ability to crawl in reverse backing-up trailers. I've done lots of them.

I installed one on mine, just didnt do it from a kit like you need. Its really easy to do, just plumb a couble of vacumm lines and run the wires, should not take more than an hour if that.

Good idea, that would be handy. I'll have to check out prices on a kit.

Timberman, Got the kit from jegs on the net for $112 free shipping and they actually got it to me in two days. looking at the instructions it looks like installing it will be a piece of cake could'nt take more than an hour or two tops!!!

That's awesome. I was thinking about that this morning as I was backing my bobcat trailer around in a field. That will probably be the next little mod I do. Thanks for the info.
