I was thinking of buying a new rear locknut for the axle. I have a Durablue Posi-Lock one right now, but I have to use a bunch of washers to space it out from the carrier for it to work right. All I can seem to find is the Lonestar locknut. Does anyone have one of these? And do you like it? Thanks in advance!
Rad is the best one, works great or so I hear.
I run the stock one, use a little bit of blue loctite and its never moved ever.

second stock one for me. i stripped the first one over tightening and it would cause my bearings to wear prematurely.

I had a Lone Star but it was for ever coming lose no mater what I did. I even put set screws in it and it still came lose. Then I broke the dura blue axel I was using and I went back to the stock axel and nut till I get a new axel. I bent two stock axels as well so maybe I should slow down a bit.lol

Then I bent another stock one less than a year after that. Then I bent a DuraBlue Heavy Duty axle prolly a year or so after that, and I just recently tweaked my DuraBlue Eliminator 2+2 and had to send it back to get it straightened. Can anybody top me?
