gears are seperate from a locker.

There are two types of lockers.

The "lunchbox" style(aussie, lockright) replace your spider gears, you simply pop the carrier out, install the locker in your existing carrier and pop it back in.

The carrier style lockers(detroit, ARB, OX) replace the stock carrier completely, these require that you pull the carrier, remove the ring gear from your current carrier and install it on the locker. These require resetting the backlash when installed.

If you're doing gears then you might as well get the full carrier, it's stronger, and you an go selectable.

by full carrier you mean arb and detroit?? or the others you mentioned? I had planned on going ARB, it seems like a pretty awesome setup, plus I can run an airline off of the onboard air compressor used to power it in gear? Safe assumption?
