I want to be able to go to some of the desert, forest spots that I went in the past with just my 1500 4x4 and wanted the extra pop of the locker if I needed it. I have no desire for a winch.

Sorry for the second post, but I also had to make a comment about what you said about a winch.
1ST RULE OF OFFROADING-- DO NOT GO ALONE2ND RULE OF OFFROADING - If you go alone, make absolutely certain you have EVERY form of self-recovery you can get.If you go somewhere that requires a locker to get there, you better have a buddy AND/OR a winch. DO NOT go somewhere that you need a locker to get into without a winch to get you out of.
My last 3 Jeeps had dual winches--Front and rear
