I am about to do the same mods as you. Do your research if you go electric. I found way too many people having problems on various forums. Issues with the electric lockers not wanting to fully engage or disengage. Not a problem I want to deal with 500 miles from home with a boat in tow. I am leaning Powertrax No-slip in the rear and spending the money up front on the D30 locker.

 

Also everyone new to the world of lockers please remember auto lockers are not friendly to have on slick surfaces. I.E if you live in a wintery climate and see snow on your roads.. Auto locker not desirable..

However if you have one in the rear and use 4wd on snowy roads it helps and vice versa with the front. If you have one in the front don't use 4wd on snowy roads

 

Blasphemy!!! I love my auto locker in snow. I feel like a pro drifter everywhere i go and all my friends are jealous

 

Ok yeah I don't want an auto locker I just to be able to have some extra traction when I'm in a snow bank or some mud that is deeper than what I expected

 

Hahaha yeah I like drifting in the snow too but that's why I just leave it in 2wd and hit the gas

 

Its a big difference between have a locker and not having one in snow, even compared to a LSD.

 

I was able to find a ARB kit on eBay for cheap so locked the front and rear at the same time. I four wheel over rocks and snow mostly and usually only use the rear so would have to advise locking that first.

 

Ok so say I put a air locker on the front will I be able to use 4wd and not have it locked and then if I have to engage the locker still do so while it's in 4wd

 

Yep.. your open until you hit your onboard switch

 

So what axle do you have in the rear?

 

Ok cool

 

I have the 8.25. My Cherokee is a 98 so came with it.

 

Oh ok
