You know I love you Brad, that said, I disagree.

If you buy a single ARB locker for the front, just wire the switch to the air solenoid, and you have a front locker regardless if you have a limited slip, spool, Lockright, etc...

Several of my former Jeep buddies have a spool or Lockright in the rear, and an ARB in the front. And for a factory truck with a limited slip, the same thing can easily be done.

But I still think the OP should also get a winch....

I love you too man. :) :)

I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm just saying ARB goes to a lot of trouble building the wiring harness to prevent someone from locking the front without locking the back first. At least that was the case on my short wheelbase TJ. On a long wheel base truck, it may not be an issue. It's just something to consider.

I have twin-stick Atlas on my Jeep, so I can lock the front ARB and totally disconect the rear drive. I ocasionaly do that in the woods to drag the front end around.
