Default Locker in the front?

What do you think about ur locker in the front axle? How much steering did you lose? Would you recommend it for a trail rig?
Thanks,
Luke

That's what they're meant for. And turning shouldn't be affected in 2WD. Only in 4x4 and when the locker engages.

Had lockers front/rear in a CJ5, wasn't real impressed on the trail. Great in the mud though... Thought it might be because of the short wheel base. Some of the trails we play in you gotta have 4 peel engaged. Was planning on an air-locker, but someone pointed me towards the Aussie lockers said they ran it in the front, asking for opinions...

The way you worded the first post made it sound like you didn't know. My apology.
