What are the best lockers for a 2004 TJ?

Is it worth spending that kinda money on? Most people I see are bashing Dana 35's. So where im at now is I thought about just getting a locker say like PowerTrax like JMT mentioned and some better axles until I find a better rear end. Or should I get a s35 kit and build this one?

How big are you planning to go?
A S35 will handle 35’s all day long and twice on Sunday. Plus you get a locker with it

Where do you buy your PowerTrax from?

Amazon. Looks like it’s currently unavailable now.

A S35 is as strong as a Dana 44. Lots of old polish the turd threads. No worries up to a 35” tire, just like a Dana 44
 
The bad thing about an S35 is you can’t say you have a Dana 44. Somehow Dana 44 just sounds better.

The good thing about an S35 is it doesn’t hang quite as low as a Dana 44, so you get more clearance.

I have a Dana 44. 😉

Powertrax isn’t the only lunchbox out there......Aussie, Spartan, etc

Right, but the No-Slip doesn’t ratchet when you turn. It’s completely invisible in 2H. That’s the only advantage. It’s like a deluxe lunchbox. 😁

I haven’t noticed ratcheting from my Spartan.
And I wouldnt care if it did. I’d classify it like supercharger whine or a BOV
 
So I have read through this thread and a few others about what to do for lockers and gears, and since a few other people asked here I figured I’d ask as well.
03 manual 4.0
33s with 3.5 inch lift ( this will be max lift and tires )

Wheeling will be Tennessee so everything but mostly stock friendly stuff Forrest roads some mud and rock but nothing crazy.

I have 30/35 combo thinking lunchbox front
Electric selectable locker rear
4.11 ish gears

How does this setup sound super green with all this but want something practical yet capable.

How bad is this Ring and Pinion Master set? I got a pretty good deal on this complete set ($368, Regular price $525) with seals, bearings, races, shims and all, I got the 4.56 Would I be better off selling it and buying Revolutions?

Sorry guys im in TN and just an hour from Rough country is why I bought them.
