Yukon Gear Grizzly Locker For Dana 30 / 27 Spline / 3.73+
The Yukon Grizzly Locker is a mechanical positive-locking differential engineered for Dana 30 axles with 27 splines and 3.73 or higher gear ratios. It fits Jeep Wrangler Cherokee CJ Bronco International Scout and select Volvo models delivering maximum traction in rock crawling trail running off-road racing and drag racing. This patented design sends 100% power to both tires while disengaging on turns to avoid binding.
Key Features
- Hardcore Construction: Heavy-duty casing and gears built to withstand extreme off-road abuse
- Advanced Gear Teeth: Larger radius at base of inner clutch teeth for up to 350% greater strength than back-cut designs
- Shock-Load Resistance: Oversized teeth prevent breakage from shock-loading or axle failure
- Full Power Delivery: Locks both wheels for 100% traction in demanding conditions
- Turn Disengagement: Automatically unlocks during turns for smooth handling
Product Notes
- Confirm gear ratio is 3.73 or numerically higher and 27 spline axles before installation
- Uses existing carrier bearings and hardware
- Packed in protective foam-lined box for safe transit
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Requires complete differential disassembly and gear setup
- Compatible with factory Dana 30 carriers in listed vehicles

Differentials
Differentials distribute engine torque between drive wheels, allowing them to rotate at different speeds through corners while maintaining traction. Upgrading from a factory open differential to a limited-slip or locking differential is one of the most impactful drivetrain improvements you can make for towing, off-roading, drag racing, or any application where both wheels need to work together under load.Popular Differential UpgradesTop upgrades include Eaton Detroit Locker and Eaton Truetrac limited-slip units for GM, Ford, Dana, and Chrysler axles, ARB Air Lockers for Jeep and truck off-road applications, and OS Giken Super Lock LSD units for JDM performance platforms. Locker conversions for Dana 44 and Dana 60 front axles are essential for serious rock crawling, while Truetrac helical LSDs deliver traction improvements without aggressive locking behavior for street and tow applications.What is the difference between a locker and a limited-slip differential?A locking differential ...
