Thanks

I know this thread is a little old but I've found that just using a hot glue gun and filling the space between the three gears will lock it up solid...plus pretty easy to clean out the dried glue if you want to put it back original.

Threads are never too old! .

I purchased a set of spider gears on ebay for cheap. Added one gear in between the existing 3 and voila. Change your mind, remove gear. One set of gears locked the rear diffs on 3 of my trucks. Just my 2 cents....

I like the glue gun idea but don't forget, shoe goo works. Its tried and tested, also non permanent.

I use this method as well. It even has a bit of give to take the shock out of the assembly.
