No locker for the D30 unless it is a selectable or you lose the fulltime option. Up to you and depends on what your weather conditions are on the need for fulltime 4WD.

Yes but fulltime uses a differential built into the transfercase. The locking of both front and rear axles causes it to be essentially locked all the time and mixed road conditions make it act like you were driving in 4WD on dry pavement which the fulltime can handle if the front diff is not locked making turns, even slight turns, difficult or even dangerous.

If you want to be able to benefit from fulltime dont put a locker in your front differential. If you feel like you really need one off road then you need a selectable like an OX or ARB or Ected.
