right on man. So arb airs lock ALL tires regardless of traction? Forget transfer of power. Lock em all up imho.

If you wanna go full lockers the arbs are a great choice but they are quite expensive and you'll also need to run airlines and have a compressor. Plus side is you can get double arb compressor and run air tools and fill tires. Also look at electric lockers

For snow I would not recommend a full locker especially in front as it will limit you steering quite bad and lockers cause you to slide in snow especially side hilling stuff do to the wheels spinning at same speed. Unless your talking DEEP snow runs. The stock jk is quite a good offroad machine. I took mine further with a back limited slip than spooled and locked yj's and tj's. The BLD is a pretty good system in the jeeps now days

No real motive for posting but im excited and need jeep community support. Any advice for me on making a DD turn to the wild side?

I'm planning on the Eaton E lockers when I regear. Electric, no compressor needed. No leaky air lines.

Yes with any of the selectable lockers you can switch out of full lock to a open dif.
