Default Line-Lock--What brand??

Got a set of BFG 315s coming on 12" wheels from John at CCwheel. Time to decide on which line-lock to install.

What brand line-lock do you recommend and how was the install? Is there a how-to posted for installing one? Thanks in advance.

I've used the Hurst line lock before. The install wasn't too bad at all. Just a little wiring, bending and rerouting some brake lines - well worth the results.

John,

Tony got mine from Vinci Hi-Performance. There was a question as to whether I had active handling or not (I don't). Apparently, there are at least two different kinds. Mine was pricey.

On the other hand WallstAL and others have much cheaper versions from Hurst, I think.

What happened to the daily driver?

We use the Hurst Roll Control and have had great luck! I have three in stock.
Let me know if I can help.
