I would think you wouldn't even notice until you use 4wd.

I have a limited slip in the front of my XJ and you don't notice anything until you engage 4x4...then it is pretty awesome. Drove mine through some pretty muddy slushy snow in the mountains last season and it was really nice.

I would worry about the front end plowing when trying to drive in the snow.

But my truck is now a DD, and I live in WI.

I didn't notice any plowing in the snow. I also drove the road in 2wd...to test the rear locker...and there was a substantial improvement in handling and control with 4x4 an the front LSD. The jeep went exactly where I pointed it and felt extremely stable. Mine is a power lock LSD front an Detroit rear. Works great.

I've got an ARB in my 44 rear.

Will probably try some other locker for the front and if j don't like it save for the ARB.

i have a Richmond locker in my D30 and like others said, you only notice it in 4WD, if you engage four on the road it pulls left to right, but not in a hard to control kind of way, and on trails it really wants to whip the wheel back to center when turning, but traction wise its good, its worth it, i'd say, cause you dont notice it at all in two
