[QUOTE="1o1Proof, post: 465449, member: 23642"] This makes no sense, if anything the rear (on a JK) is even more capable as it is a “next gen” Dana 44, with the carrier being the difference on a rubicon. We have had TJs and JKs with both styles and no issues. Edit to say: I may have misread your post? Maybe you were talking about having a Detroit style in the rear and it not being ideal? Which is a true statement.. As [USER=25640]@tJKrider[/USER] said about a mechanical locker, isn’t ideal but many people have done it. I personally am not a fan of mechanical/zip lockers because there are times you want 4wheel drive without engaging the locker…think tight wooded area where a tighter turning radius is needed. I have had all 3 styles and my preference would be ARB switched to allow independent locking of either axle. You can certainly install one locker at a time to save cost, as long as no re gearing is done. [/QUOTE]
