limited slips do work for some situations, I think everyone is just trying to let you know that you may not be getting the benefit you seek by installing a lsd. keep saving your pennies. first thing I did when I graduated was put an ARB in my jeep. Best mod I have done.
Amazon has them prime eligible for $998 so that would be free shipping if you have prime. Some sites I have never heard of online had them for right at $900. Don't know that I'd trust a random google search site.
What gears are in it now? Pull a factory LSD out of an 8.8 or get one from eBay or east coast gear supply. Mustang sites have a lot of info about 8.8s and LSD's
You'd be better off saving your money for an ARB and wheeling it open until then. This junk is expensive.
And don't cut your frame off.

We're just trying to help you. And Steve's suggestion above was the reason I was posting again. How about a stock explorer LS carrier? You could probably find one with the same gear ratio and it would just cost you a gear setup. So, you save the $500 you would have spent, still get a LS, and have the money to upgrade when you're ready for a selectable locker and regear. You may be able to swap your open carrier to someone with a LS who wants it to drop in a lunchbox locker... maybe even a mustang guy. I'm pretty sure you can stack an extra clutch in the stock packs too to tighten it up.
Put the word out that you'd like to trade open carrier with x.xx gear for same gear on open carrier and see what happens... Jeep forums, Mustang forums...
Also, like Marcus said, call around for prices at the local shops. They're more likely to work with you on price if you're paying them to install it. Or, if you have patience, wait for a sale.
All i have to say is my limited slip doesn't do much more than make both tires fire when doing a burn out on concrete. I would never in a thousand years put money into making something a limited slip when i could have a locker for the same price.
Also ask jim about how many limited slip carriers he has blown up.
LSD not jimmy approved.
Brad, don't take today as flaming. We were just trying to give our experiences and inputs. In case you hadn't figured it out most of us are full of crap and talk crap back and forth. Don't think anyone meant anything by it, just tryin to help you use your money in the wisest way possible. Trust me, we have ALL been in your shoes at one point.

I wish the OX was cheaper, that is the one I really want, the carriers are built solid, and there isnt any seals inside the carriers, it just has the little actuator on the cover, they can be ran off electricity, a compressor, a paintball CO2 tank, or by cable, and they have a back up manual piece that screws onto the diff cover and you can lock and unlock it with it.
