Rockwell Line Lock Q's

ScoutsHonor · 05-06-2003, 01:00 AM

Ok... welded front & rear w/ full hydro steering. The tires turn easily (1 finger) but of course w/ 44" Boggers my turning radius sucks. I just ordered some line locks from Jegs, should be here sometime this week. I'm running Wilwood pinion brakes on both axles. I understand how the line locks are suppost to be installed and everything.. but my question is.. how am I going to operate them? Seems like a stupid question, but what I mean is:

Say I need to make a sharp left turn. I have a single stick 205.
Will I turn my front all the way to the left, lock the front pinion brake, and then spin the back tires (put it in 2wd first of course)

Would that be the correct way to use it?

Seems to me that without having a twin stick t-case the benefits to having them on both axles would be slim....

Anyone have any input or suggestions as to what to do???
If I'm going to pull my t-case out and do a twin stick swap now is the time I need to do it... Gotta be ready by Memorial Day...

Thanks in advance!

do the twin stick!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and if you already ordered 2 line locks, put one on each axle, then play with it for yourself and see what works best.
