Locker with Limited slip carrier?

I'm locking the front and rear here soon. I'm gonna start with the front but I adventually want to put a lockrite in the rear. I have a D35 with limited slip. I was cautioned by a yota guy (general idiots) that a lockrite wont fit in my D35 limited slip...is this true?

Swap out the d35 for something better. Then lock it.

Related question: My "93 XJ has the shift-on-the-fly system for the front diff, but the diff (Dana 30) is an open diff (no locking hubs, of course). Can anyone tell me whether whether a lock-rite or similar locker will work? It seems to me that it will, but I'd like some feedback first. Thanks.
