Lockers for BIG tires..

Looking for a comfortable set of lockers that would do okay with "BIG" tires, say 38.5 super swaper tsl on 86 runner... I dont do any hardcore wheeling but I do fish and hunt a lot. Just need some lockers that would be able to get me to spots where there may not be any roads. I will be swaping the IFS out next week and planning on a set of lockers as well. This is also a part time daily driver and willingly to give up some comfort for some affordable lockers.. Please do help and direct...

Any full case locker... I.e NOT a "pocket locker"


Feel free to surf the internet for whichever you want.

I have dual ARBs and love them, but for an older non-DD truck, I'd save the cash and go with some Detroits. They'll be fine on road too, not as nice as ARBs, but still very tolerable and probably 1/2 the price. I know a lot of guys that run Detroits and don't mind them on their DDs so I think they'd be perfect for you on a hunting/fishing rig. They come with a new carrier so it does require a diff setup (unlike Aussies or Lockrights), but the Detroits are also a lot stronger and they have much smoother action too, at least IMO.
