What limited slip or locker for rear 2006 H3 do you recommend

New H3 owner and I have read so far that it’s not ok to run a locker in the front differential with this year, what are you guys running for rear lockers or limited slip?

It is an easy one, find a front diff from a 2009/10 I5 Adventure, they are cast iron. Swap the entire front diff carrier and all, then wire your switch..

I would NEVER recommend installing any kind of locker into the aluminum front differential.

It is doing all it can to stay together without the stress of a locker on the aluminum case.

Me either. Like I said, swap the entire front diff. I5 to I5.
