Re: auto lockers
I'm currently set up exactly that way with my YJ. Except I have the Dana 30
front w/Lockright and 35C rear w/TRACLOC. Yes, when in 2wd the front acts
like an open diff.

Re: auto lockers
Thanks for all the info. Bill metioned a spool up front to be honest i
know next to nothing about a spool set up. Can any body recomend a good
site for research and a good product for this set up.
Also, off topic, has anyone had any experience with the older (66-77)
d-44 bronco axles on a yj, my concern is steering and i have read many
post about this swap but none seem to go verry deep into this part.
This will be my first time swapping front axles and i know there will
be many times that I am completly lost... but that is my favorite way
to learn :) .
