Default Rear Lunchbox / Open Front

I recently installed a PowerTrax No Slip Locker in my 8.25. So far so good, but haven't been off road with it yet.

I'm wondering, with the NP231 in 4HI or 4LO, if one front tire comes off the ground with the other three tires planted, what will happen?

Is the TC locked so the front DS will turn the same as the rear DS?

Does this question make sense? Just looking for what to expect with the rear locked and open front with the NP231.

Thanks!

If that happens you still have two rear tires with full power

One front can spin unless both rears have lost traction and are spinning, the front and rear driveshafts are locked together and turn at the same speed in 4x4 high or low.

With on front in the air it will put all power to that tire. You will only have rear tires driving or what ever the thing does 40% one 60 the other.
