Built for heavy-duty GM and Chrysler 11.5" axle builds, this 38-spline Grizzly Locker is designed for trucks and rigs that demand maximum traction and durability. Whether you're running a Duramax or Cummins tow rig, a high-horsepower street truck, or a full-size off-road build, this locker delivers true mechanical lockupsending 100% of available torque to both wheels under load.
Engineered to handle extreme torque and shock loads, this locker features a patented internal design with larger engagement teeth and 8620 steel internals for increased strength and longevity. It automatically unlocks during turns for improved drivability while maintaining full traction when needed. Assembled in the USA.

Tech Insight
The 11.5" axle platform is built for high-load applications, but factory differentials can struggle when torque and traction demands increase. A mechanical locker like the Grizzly ensures both wheels receive equal power, improving traction in towing, off-road, and performance scenarios.
Upgrading to 38-spline axles significantly increases axle strength, but requires proper spindle modification for fitment. Ensuring correct machining and installation is critical to maintaining reliability in heavy-duty builds.
