front cause the odds of blowing the 35 wheeling is high. if you had a 44 or 8.25 then i would say rear.

I must put Aussies front and rear (D30/8.25) and I find the front to be much, much more useful than the rear. However, by placing an automatic locker in the front, you can kiss 4WD goodbye in snowy/wet conditions on any paved road. If you're not worried about that, lock the front first, then worry about the rear. Also, be sure to make sure you have an open carrier in the rear and not a LSD before you lock it, or you'll need to swap it for an open carrier.
