Yukon Gear Grizzly Locker, Ford 9in, 31 Spline Axles
Yukon Gear part YGLF9-31 is a Grizzly Locker engineered for the Ford 9in differential with 31-spline axles. The Yukon Grizzly Locker is a mechanical positive-locking differential built for rock crawling, serious trail running, off-road racing, and drag racing, providing 100% power to both tires while still allowing disengagement in turns.
Key Features
- Mechanical positive-locking differential
- Provides 100% power to both tires when locked
- Patented inner clutch teeth design with larger base radius for up to 350% greater strength versus back-cut designs
- Resists breakage from shock-loading or catastrophic axle failure
- Fits the Ford 9in differential with 31-spline axles
Fitment
Fits vehicles equipped with the Ford 9in differential and 31-spline axles. Confirm your exact differential and spline count before ordering.

FAQ
What does the Grizzly Locker do?The Grizzly Locker is a mechanical locking differential that delivers 100% power to both wheels for maximum traction, while still allowing disengagement for turning.
What differential does this locker fit?This locker fits the Ford 9in differential with 31-spline axles.
Is the Grizzly Locker good for daily driving?Lockers change on-road driving characteristics; many owners use them primarily for off-road and racing use rather than daily street driving.
What makes the Grizzly Locker stronger than competitors?Its patented inner clutch teeth have a larger base radius, offering up to 350% greater strength than back-cut designs, resisting breakage under shock loads.
Is professional installation recommended?Yes. Installing a locker requires differential disassembly and precise setup, and should be performed by a qualified technician.
Can this locker be used for drag racing?Yes, the Grizzly Locker is engineered for rock crawling, trail running, off-road racing, and drag racing applications.
Does this include a ring and pinion gear set?No, this listing is for the locker only; gears should be ordered separately if needed.
Do I need to confirm fitment before ordering?Yes. Confirm your exact differential and spline count before ordering.
Installation Instructions
- Remove the differential cover and carrier assembly.
- Remove the factory open differential or locker.
- Install the Grizzly Locker into the carrier housing.
- Reassemble the carrier and torque all fasteners to specification.
