Simple, email Ashcroft Transmissions and they will ask the questions to get the info needed for your order. They have fantastic customer service and support.

If you already have maxi axles, check if their ok as they are = to Ashcroft or better and very strong. In the rear(salisbury only) a cheap option is to fit a Detroit locker(u.s sourced lucky8 has a special at the moment in vendors) but in the front if you want a locker or bigger tyres you need stronger axles + cv's so go the Ashcroft if you can afford it.
Being an 02 you may or may not have ABS, my 02 does as well as traction control, the rear diff is either a Salisbury(mine), or a p38(very late 02 into 03) or a rover if your in a 90.

Yeah I gotta agree.
Awesome service.
I purchased my lockers on the Sunday and they were on my doorstep Wednesday morning. 3 days.
Can't fault them and how often do you get to communicate directly with the owner of a company.

Ashcrofts will give you great advice and service and you will have all the bits you order within a week. I split my orders from them into separate packages to keep each importation under $1,000 and avoid the customs excise.
You will also need hub seals and swivel-housing seals, which I don't think Ashcrofts will supply; order these early or you may well find (as I did) that you have all the gear from Ashcrofts sitting around waiting for the seals so you can do the installation, as a lot of parts suppliers take ages to send stuff.

Whilst you obviously have a different model vehicle, the principles are the same and you may gain some ideas on parts required (including the minor not included items) from reading http://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery-...ml#post1953461
