I have ARB's F&R and absolutely love them. Quick as you can hit the switch, they engage/disengage, which makes a huge difference in tight spots on the trail. You should truss it and get a HD dif cover to keep flex to a minimum.

Eaton E-Locker FTW!!

No compressor needed.
No air lines needed
No O-Rings to fail

I love my ARB airlockers.

You can also set them up to run on board air.

Yup, that's what I did. I have air chucks F&R, too and can use air tools in short bursts. Just need more capacity.
