    After careful consideration, I want to keep using my 8" stock rear end, but I need to change out the gears, and I would love to add a limited-slip differential in the process. I know Randy's Ring and Pinion sells them, are there any other companies offering trac-loc units for the 8" rear?

    Where is Randy's and how do I get in touch with them? I am looking for an 8" trac-loc also. Do you have a link? Thanks,

    You can get a trac lock from Currie also. Jegs and Summit carry the Power-Trax locker for the 8".

    I am setting up my own trac locs with steel billet covers for this price, you just tell me what gear you want and I can set them up and send you a complete 8" third member for $650 plus shipping. Let me know if anyone is interested at this price. If you can do better let me know and I will try to match it. E-mail me for info or orders cornerboy01@hotmail.com

    $650 is a competetive price for a complete set-up. How much for just the trac-lok unit without the gears and stuff? There's a manufacturer on e-bay that has them (new, not rebuilt) for $325. I am curious because I, also, am in the market for one, but I already have a gearset and set my own stuff up.

    Thanks,
    Eric

    That's pretty much your best hope, but I haven't found one in 6+ years of looking.
    Then you have to rebuilt it, so by the time your done you would have been better off buying a new one.
