When locked in you will find it very difficult to steer on roads and hard gound, and if your tires are larger than 40" the stub axles will brake (depending on your driving habits as to soon it will happen).

turning would be quiet a task- if you did a steering upgrade i think you would enjoy the locker alot more. just my .02 though- Ryan

do the locker, buy and install hydro-assist kit so you can turn..

Do the hydro assist and crossover first. I'd rather have a welded front with crossover/hydro than front to back steering with a front locker.

Oh and if you don't have a steering brace, get it NOW.
