Has anyone used a lock rite locker without the coupler in a track kick?

Ya, all the lockers I've installed have used side gears instead of
couplers, if you don't have broken sidegears, use them

i did this about 3 years ago.
the diff. had 150000 miles on it(i believe) but the gears looked fine.
i reused the dowels, as the ones in the kit were not drilled for the pins.
i have had no problems.
lockrite recommended 140w gear oil, so i followed their advise.
replaced the outer axle seals also- kinda pia, but you're in there- might consider.
'89 kick w/little motor, still got pieces of jeff's pucks, stan's sticks into 4.24:1 tcase, 31x10.5x15's, rear lockrite, kick power steering, some radios(kj6esv), bmw seat, other changes just because. done on the cheap.
suzi the psychic gets me fishing.
