The only reason to consider locking hubs on a D30 is for flat towing IMO. Others may have better reasons but that is the only thing I can think of.

The hubs on a d30 are locked all the time. Your t-case either IS engaged or it ISNT.
The only reason to go with lockout hubs is if running a full locker which would allow turning without the bind.
So if your going full detroit...Do it in a D44 that is already setup with lockouts.
