Selectable locker steering help
Would it be best to have the front axle locked and the rear selectable or the rear locked and the front selectable to help steering? Myself and a friend (eric) are having it out and I say front selectable and he says rear selectable. If you have run either or both of these setups let me know what you have experienced. Thanks, Scott

I agree front selectable. Much easier steering when front is unlocked and will have a better turning radius.

Depends on the steering and vehicle use. Front selectable if it will not be getting full hydro or hydro assist and the vehicle is going to be trail only. For easier steering and better turning radius.
For a road worthy vehicle rear selectable. A locker in the front while in two wheel drive is barely noticable. Selectable lockers are either on or off, might as well be a spool. So 2wd with it turned off and you can still have a grocery getter and not eat tires. |

I had and old macnamera in ford pickup back in the eighties. I looked seriously into an ox locker for quite a while.
