I've read discussions on truetrack LSDs and realize my 97 3.73 is worn out. Verified yesterday when in gravel, only the right rear tire spun.
Since :
the 2.5 lacks some torque, and
I may only trail ride 1x/month, and
It's my dd...
Can I get by with an Eaton E Locker and keep my 27 spline axles OR
should I upgrade to 30 spline on my 31s?
 
Did your TJ come with a Traclok limited slip? You can do an E locker but is isn't advisable on stock shafts. For mild to moderate use am27 spline hardened shaft will work. Anything more and you should go to the 30 spline kit.
