the truck is DD, sees a lot of highway time
does not have lockouts on the front
has a HP 30 front and Chrysler 8.25(27) in the rear
running tires that measure 33.2" tall and 11.25 wide

IMHO the powertrax no-slip is a good choice. But first thing you should do is figure out whether you have a 27 spline or a 29 spline rear axle. 1996 was the split year so you could have either one.

i would go with aussie locker up front and save ur money and do the ford 8.8 swap in the rear so it has limited slip and is stil streetable. thats what i did and im very pleased and dont chew up tires and it also is my DD and dosent hurt the gas milage to bad either. after i installed my front locker i lost about 1-2 miles per gallon

Front. You can get a nice cheap auto locker for the front and you won't know it's there, lots of guys think a front is better than rear if you only have 1. I've got a Spartan in my d30 and don't know it's there unless in part time 4

In other words, if the carrier is in the vehicle and was working, the shaft can come out

so it does not cause issues even without lock outs?
