Default 8.8... full spool....mini.....or LB ??

Well im trying to get together what I need for the 8.8 LS 4.10 rear end I picked up...

After watching the TRUCKS cheap jeep build test drive with their 8.8 LS bottomed out and one wheel spinning Im reconsidering keeping the factory LS and going with a LB locker or a spool....
I only drive it on backroads 7 miles each way to the hunting club land so im leaning towards a spool.
Only downfall is full spool will need c clip eliminator kit and ive heard to stay away from mini spools on the 8.8...
Full spool and eliminators will put me up almost to the cost of a LB locker.
I was hoping to keep this swap on the cheap side. Anyone out there running a mini spool in their 8.8 with good results ? Or anyone hear any bad results from using the mini spool ?


Here is the TRUCKS link if anyone wants to see them...... and do like it says go ahead and upgrade the free flashplayer or it wont load. http://www.jeepstrokers.com/forum/vi....php?f=2&t=185

Well seeing as you have a LS already you can't do a LB or a Mini spool..

I go either Full spool or Detroit locker..

All I've read on the 8.8 says it's weak link is the carrier..
