simply put... what u have now is an open diff. it will send power to the tire with least resistance. so when u put a locker in it "locks" up both axles so both tires have power and u have traction....

Q. What are they for ?
A. Traction. And lots of it.
Q. Are you planning on doing any off roading?
A. Yes.
Solution: Get two. One in front and one in rear.
Q. Do you just have a lift for looks?
A. Yes.
Then you probably won't need them.

I'm always an advocate of answering the question and not simply saying search.
However this is getting completely out of hand at this point.
www.google.com Will answer your question.

lockers are ment for high end offroading like 7-10 trails need lockers. if you gonna be doing "some" offroading you most likely wont need them.. if you are goin to be on alot of off camber situations where one or more tires is off the ground you would want a locker. if not just wheel smart. pick good lines and if u need to stack rocks. lockers are pretty expensive but if u wanna drop the money on one thats up to you.
