These are two things I'm factoring in as well. I'm now up to personal knowledge of 4 incidents where the rear limted slip took out the carrier/locker assembly. Based on everything I've read, and experienced, it's the application of shock load that is the major factor in destroying the Rubicon rear 44. However, this can be significantly reduced by doing two things: a light application of the go pedal, when making tight turns on the street; and running the rear locker all the time, when off-road. I do realize in totality that this type of failure is a small percentage, but it's one I'd like to avoid. I'm sure others will jump in if I missed something!
