Unless you have the tools and the know-how to do a rear end setup, you are going to have to pay a professional $200 - $300 to install the used $125 differential.

The Lock-Right can be installed by just about anyone with average mechanical skill.

But also be aware that a limited-slip differential is different than a locking differential.

The limited activated when the opposite wheel slips? And locker locks up righ?

The L/S does what the name says -- it allows the axle halves to differentiate through clutches that slip against each other. Power will go to the wheel with the most traction, but there still has to be at least some traction on the other wheel or you'll just spin the wheel with no traction.

A locker keeps the axle shafts rotating together by engaging teeth on each half of the differential. When the axles need to rotate at different speeds, the teeth are allowed to override each other (causing a ratcheting sound). Power either goes to both wheels or the one with traction. The opposite wheel is permitted to spin freely.

Lockers are generally for off-road use. Limited-slip is used more for the street.

A compromise is the "No slip" differential. It's similar to a locker, but does not have the ratcheting noise during differentiation. It's is as easy to install as the Lock Right too.
