If I'm running the 35's I will trailer the Jeep to where I plan to take off from, these tires were used when I bought them and I re-grooved them to use on the bead locks down to 8-10# psi. As for lockers I have 2 Detroit Lockers in mine quality very quiet and strong with 4.56 gears and stock axles zero problems so far off road as this is not a DD.
Have you driven on the road at all? I'm interested in hearing how two detroits would behave on pavement.

the front you wouldn't notice and the rear is also pretty unnoticeable with an automatic trans. you'll hear it lock and unlock some times but that's about it
