a Lock-Right is about the cheapest thing you'll find that's worth bothering with, the only thing cheaper is a spool. they run about $400.

Lincoln locker. Find a welder with a few extra sticks of 7018 get him to weld the rear end solid. Cheapest you're gonna find. Don't try that with the front though.
Detroit locker for the rear............. You better not put a locker in front if you're building a trial rig. I would suggest a selectable locker or limited slip up front.
Lincoln locker works great "off road" On the street you run the risk of snapping axles and/or spinning out in the rain or slick pavement.
I was just answering the "cheap" part ;)
I am a welder by trade, and welding up the front end is not what I wanted. I am thing about it though
Axels shouldn't snap just like that
You're right axles should'nt snap like that............but most people that i have noticed install larger tires than their axles are rated for and run into problems quickly. GM 10 bolt/dana 44 axles are rated for no larger than 35" tires, yet i see "Billy Bigrigger" strolling down the hiway with 44" super swampers and a 12" lift bolted up to 10 bolt axles. If they run a spool or a locker with over 400 lbs. of preload chances are they will be hearing Snap, Crackle and Pop. "It's only a matter of time"
iv got a 77 chevy 1/2 ton 4x4 with a lock rite locker installed in the the rear .. i love it .. very reasonably price & easy nstall & no special lube additives ... just rear end grease....i have had o probbs @ all i have 12 bolt rearend with 38.5 x 1100 boggers
If you're looking for a place for lock rite lockers, one to check out is
They should have what you're looking for and at good prices too.
