Yes you will probably want a lock-out. I have one on my cub and no override and it is still VERY rideable, contrary to what alot of people say. I also have a +6 swinger and just regular haulers. You gonna be at LS at the end of march, 18-22 or w/e it is? Maybe I could let you try my 10 paddle reg. haulers and see if it'll launch in 2nd, it's worth a try, alot easier to try free stuff than buy it if you don't know if it'll work.
