How about a locker in from and a trac lock in rear? What everyone’s opinion on that versus rear locker only.

I have open diffs in the rear.
Yea there was a post frenzy as I was typing prior to finishing my first cup of coffee lol. I saw your response soon as I hit send. Also still worth thinking of going front locker rear open as more weight on the front will still gain more traction. Unless your looking to do some drifting ?? Then rear loc all the way lol

If you can get a lsd in the rear and lock the front that’s even better.

Seems high. I want to say my gear job only was about $2300 and a locker would have added essentially parts they said, so maybe $3500ish.

It’s not crazy, but seems a little high.
That's about what I was quoted here in AZ

I've ran my XJ that way for many years with out a problem. It wasn't my first choice but I've been happy with it, budget was my reasons then too.

I just got quote at PA All Breed show for Eaton E Locker rear, only and regear to 4.88 for 3400.00 At least the shop prefers doing E locker over air.

Interesting, I do think that it's do to air leaks any nick on O-ring or even dust or grain sand /dirt no locker action. ARB are great until that or air compressor failure. I've seen and heard of many times over. Side note: statistical a low number of failures. The Jeep club I was in someone had both fail to function on first day. He packed up went home, the rest of us found out the next morning. Not even a call to let us know might have been due to losing "face" with built to hilt Jeep of pre-Rubicon time.
