well you NEED the shocks
you WANT the locker.

Do it to it

Lockers, IMO, are to finish a build after an appropriate lift, shocks, winch, recovery, and armor.

You can get yourself in to some trouble with lockers and not having the appropriate "mods" to accompany em'.

Again this is my $0.02. Lock it, wheel it, and have fun.

Nice, Frank is a good guy. Had him build up my rock sliders and throw on my stiffeners just the other week.

Again...Wtf? stock pump and box and pitman and old fluid locked on 35's and super low pressure. worked just fine...


spobi. seriously.

I have a Spartan in the front of my XJ, it works great and I never ntice it on the street. That said, in 4low it really does make for increased steering effort. Even with my new pump, rebuilt steering box, and a cooler my pump will start whining at me by the end of the day when I'm wheeling. That said, I'm going to keep it in there until after the hydraulic assist is done. If it still annoys me I'll be getting an ARB.

So in4aride, because yours works fine everyone else's is suppose to too? Looks like dutchVDub agrees with me.

No its because your point is invalid and irrelevant. There is no reason to think that the stock gearbox or pump can not handle or are unsafe with a front locker.
The disco axle thing is dumb, in 2wd your hand has enough force to prevent the possibility of the locker engaging. You will not feel an auto locker in 2wd in the front axle.

You are arguing points about a part that you self admit to not even having. So your argument is moot.:nono:
