The last time I checked there are no options for the 8.25 diff's (too weak), only for the 3/4 ton and up.

The Eaton E-Locker is only available for the 9.25" front diffs in the 3/4 ton trucks. I am in the process of doing this as we speak. The H2's have this diff with the eaton locker already in them with 4.10's....so just find a crashed one and get the whole assembly.

ARB does make air lockers but not for the 8.25 front diff. You will have to move up to the swap detailed above for any options.

You have 4.10's in the front axle? Is it a whole different axle than the 3.73's? I was looking to upgrade from 3.73 to 4.10's but have not had any luck..

i thought i heard somewhere that the 9.25" front diff from the 2500s is too big and won't fit in a 1500.
