Would these be terrible on road? Any way to make em stop workin on road and start working off road? Thanks guys! Sorry if it's a noob question.

I had a Lockright's front and rear in my TJ before I went to ARB's , I will NEVER go with a locker in the front again unless it is select-able, Or a Trail rig with Manual Hubs.
Even in 2wd it would not unlock. Turing into parking spots it wanted to rip the wheel out of your hands . Offroad It was Just point and shoot it was great, But That did not make up for the Poor street manors . Which is why I went to ARB's front and rear in my TJ, Front ARB and Rear Detroit in my YJ , My XJ will Be getting ARB's also

I just plain hate lockrights, had some issues with them and they don't like big tires, but I've run lunchbox lockers up front and never had any issues on the road in 2wd. It will click and pop when making tight turns at low speed but I never had mine lock up in 2wd. And no you can't turn them off. Replace the springs before you install it because they wear out pretty fast.

Sounds like an installation problem to me.....
