I have a chance to get a good deal on a locker for the rear question is is it good idea to run a lunch box locker in the rear . Stock gears no locker in the front

It's good to run a locker in the rear. Never a good idea to run a locker in a dana 35, let alone never really a good idea to wheel a dana 35 period. You can however run that same locker for the d35 in your d30, lock the front, they're the same locker just slots for c clips

I also don't recommend running a locker in a D35. Those things are notorious for breaking c-clips and walking axles.

I have one in my D35 and haven't broken anything now in 5 years. Secret is to not run tires over 31" in diameter and wheel sensibly.

For $100-200 you can find a 29 spline c8.25 to swap in and have no worries on the trails. One less thing to worry about.
