yeah sorry...
I just remembered to use the search
And those answered my questions except for one.

They are going in both F+R.

The only thing I would like to know is how loud is this "clicking noise" in front?

Is it, more than tolerable, tolerable, irritating at times, or not at all tolerable?

Ive done alot of research on them and it says that they dont make that much noise and that if they do, that the drivers get used it. Its like having a loud exhaust. After a bit it just becomes the norm. The Power Trax is alot more quiet and smooth but a little bit more in cost.

I had Aussie's and the front didn't make hardly any noise the rear was much louder. I put synthetic oil in there and it quietened them a lot and you do get used to it.

Does anyone have a Power Trax or Lock Right with 35s or bigger? Ive read that most lunch box lockers cant handle over 33" tires.

I know poeple run them with big tires but Ive read that with over 33" tires that the lunch box lockers wont engage for some reason. Do the guys you know say they have any problems with them not engaging?

I ran mine with 35s but I have heard of issues with lock rites and bigger tires, that said I also know people who swear by them.

I'm thinking of putting the lock right locker in my rear dana 35 open rear diff on my 00 jeep cherokee any issues with the locker before I buy? I'm only running 31 inch tires with 15 inch wheels when I go offroading at my local dunes. But I mostly use it on the street with my 17 inch wheels with 32 inch tires
