[curts77]

I need some help.If I was going to put a locker in the front what is the best steering set up to turn with ease when locked.I talked to a guy that had a agr rock ram and he liked it.I will be running 35" with 4.56,the power steering in it now is the quick ratio stock set up.Thank you for any help.Curt

ARB no steering problem when turned off

I have the same setup with a Quick loc and I dont even know its there!

I like my ARB...Some like detroit...Ox locker is another option.<br><br>You can get a juiced up Saginaw pump and a cooler to help. I strongly recommed the cooler. Helped me big time. If that doesn't work, add the assist.

I run a Detroit in the front and really don’t notice it that much, I tend to stay in 2 low or hi, even when I had a Dana-20 with a t-shift handle I could find 2 low just before the handle goes into 4 low. I only use front wheel drive when needed. I had to drive on the street for about 25 miles in front wheel drive only once, which was very interesting with the locker. I say go Detroit in the front and if you live where there’s snow & ice go posi in the rear. Just my $.02. Later, Francois.

If steering is a concern I would go with a detroit or ARB. It will still bind under good bite in tough rocks but most of the time it is just fine. I can turn much easier than ever before when I had a ez-locker in the front. The detroit is much nicer. Then If you feel your steering is still not up to snuff then you can upgrade but it should be fine for 95% of the time.<br>

ARB turned off right at the top of the hill, nothing like that for ease of use. I would love to see these people will full time lockers turn like they claim to do. I have been in these trucks and it sucks in my opinion.

Your ARB is just like a spool when it's locked in so that would actually be the most difficult or atleast as difficult as any other locker when it's engaged. ;D<br>

Yeah, we did the rubicon this past summer with no problems, worked great. I agree, it is hard to turn when it is engaged but not like you can't steer enough to get through the trail. I am just saying it is nice to be able to turn it off right away and have all your steering back at the top of the hill when you don't want to back up to turn around. ;D
