So yours doesn't ever get tough to handle around corners while street driving?

I've also read that, for the most part, if you have an auto locker that you want it in the front. Selectable is always better, but will cost more.

 

Having a detroit in rear doesn't make it any tougher to turn the wheel you can do u turns all day long your just gonna get tire chirping from the inside tire. Well you might lose a couple inches turning radius on u turns. The problem with detroit is on wet or snow surface and turning. If you leave it in two wheel in those conditions the detroit will leave you very loose. But put it in four wheel and your good except now you front if locked with affect your steering.

 

Is the bld disabled in four low? Four high is too high for most wheeling with 3.23 gears...

 

Almost never. You just have just drive a little different. Going down the road you'll never notice it, even in curves. Remember your driving a Jeep and a not sports car. If you gas it in a sharp corner your inside tire will bark at you. Not a big deal and not hard to handle. I'm running auto lockers front and rear. If I were to do it over again. I would keep the Detroit in rear and put a selectable in the front.

 

Noted on the LWB. I have a 2 door so don't know how well a 4 door handles a rear auto locker.

However, I've tried to turn an ARB locked front JKU before and it sucks. You basically can't do it. A Detroit or Aussie auto locker up front allows decent turning if you know how to work the throttle. The only true advantage of an ARB up front is being able to run open during the winter and onroad. But on the trails, auto lockers IMO are better up front.

 

BLD turns on with 4 low.

 

I've been running ARB's in both front and rear of my 07 JKU with 488's and 35's for almost 5 years now. U don't need lockers on the road, only when u go off road and their is no problem steering. Still have my stock axle shafts and have only broken 1 U joint. I do a few trips a year and by no means do I take it easy. It's all about the line and don't romp on the skinny pedal.
