Do you have manual hubs also?
Do you have to have manual hubs when you install a zip locker or lsd?
And I do rock crawl that’s why I am exploring this option.
My cousin and I installed an Aussie locker on another rig and when that did drive on the road I honestly couldn’t tell the difference in road manners. But it was in the rear axle on that one.
I saw a video of someone installing it on his 3rd gen and in his comment section he stated that it did bind and cause major understeer in 4wd.?
Maybe he installed it wrong idk. He also had manual hubs and honestly as much as I know what the benefits of having manual hubs I really like not having to get out of the truck to engage 4wd.
I understand what you are saying
My rig does already have the rear elocker and is very capable. I definitely use it but only when I need to
And that’s what is kind of holding me back from just getting a Aussie locker and installing it upfront. How much more stress is it for the front axles, with them already kinda being a weak point?
Especially with the locker technically on at all times.

I have manual hubs too but you dont have to have it use a front locker. But it's better to have manual hubs. Here are some details about my front TT install

You can always just leave the manual hubs locked and then it is like you never did the conversion
I am not surprised that a lunchbox locker in the front would make it hard to steer.
I have limited slips in the front and back. I can think of multiple occasions where an obstacle was challenging for an e-locked, open-front truck and not challenging for my vehicle.
