Exclamation gears and lockers....neone got a combo?

ok i have a command trac tcase...ax4? auto and 4.0 inline six. im runnin 33s. I want to have an extreme amount of torque in low range. and want lockers fromt and rear that break loose when on road in turns....what i need is someones opinon of a good combo ratio and brand of locker that will allow me to keep from upgrading my axleshafts and or breaking them from driving on road. ive heard of lockers for a while now that break loose when turning on road....any suggestions. i was thinking 4.55s so i could still run 60 without being @3 grand on tach...

I have 4.56 axle gears and I run Aussie Lockers front and rear. I believe this to be the perfect combo for 33" tires. I have a 4.0 HO, AW4 and NP231.

first of all im not a kid. second of all im not talking about having to much power on road spinning all fours i wont have in 4wd on asphalt....(why would i?) im refering to the usual problems with binding and wheel hop while turning or cornering on road with traditional lockers that donot allow differential action. im not a f'in idiot just never messed with the automatic lockers and wanted someone who has re geared with simalar conditions and how their set up did. thanks for your input though. do you know how well these automatic lockers work?
