don't want to true-trac the front because of no lock out hubs.
im going to look more into the e locker but I want a lsd in the rear bad... lol. I would use it all the time vs locker front diff. maybe if I can hold out for a bit and get more side jobs I will swing the bill for LSD rear and e lock front. im getting a deal also on the gear and install and adding a true-trac adds no labor but an e lockers adds a bit.

You don't need lock out hubs, your not going to notice it being up there at all

Are you maybe confusing the detroit truetrac with a detroit locker? Or the difference between a limited, an auto-locker and a selectable?

no, I just figured 35's pulling in a parking lot space would try to engage and bark the inside tire

No, it's not going to give you anything like that, it'll act just like an open diff until it senses a wheel slipping, then it'll kick in but it's pretty seamless when it does, no spin up like a clutch type LSD, if you didn't know it was there you'd never even notice it

Those are auto-locker concerns... (Detroit locker, lunchbox locker, etc.)

Well I got a dana 44 and a dana 30 truetrac setting in my garage. Now just have to recoup from that hit and save for install.
