Me and my fellow xj buddy has a qwestion about lockers. Any input would be great, which is better? Doing a aussi locker front and rear? I was told dont put one in the front? Why? Also is it best to run a air locker up front? Thanks

People will argue about this forever. If you search a Naxja there is a huge debate somewhere.
I think:
Rocks - Front
Trails - Front
Snow/Ice - Rear
Mud - Rear

Front locker more stress on the axle and hubs. Selectable locker is best because if you don't need it then there will not be any unncessary wear.

if its a daily driver I would stay away from any locker that wont completely disengage
unless you have locking hubs

i run a aussie up front. clicks when not in 4wd, but hardly noticable. i wouldnt hesitate to put another aussie in my jeep if i had to do it again. probably one of the best 240+ dollar investments ive made to my jeep
