I run a lock rite in the front on my dana 60. If your on the gas hard you wont steer in the mud. Mud racing can get exiting over this. I ran over some timing lights cause I could not steer out of it. Just regular 4 wheeling it can have an effect on the steering but, its well worth the trade off. Makes a big difference off-roading.
 
I'm pretty sure Mudzer, and a few others have had less than sterling performance w/ the 1/2 ton "pop-rights" /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif I could be mistaken, though.

Damn straight...i broke my shear pins and tore up the locker... not my axleshafts, not my gears,but the locker itself, playing around in the sand. too much power I gueess /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif

Ohh yeah, clicking and clunking... its really anoying.
 
I have one in the rear. Haven't broke it yet. As noted, they make noise, and once in a while it will unbind with a big CLUNK! You'll wonder what the hell broke..Highway driving manners change. You have to learn to overcome the locked rears trying to push the truck around..looks like a brewsky too many until you get a handle on it. Also, quite a bit of freeplay due to the cross shaft/gear clearance. Mine is still in, but I think next time I want a locker, I'll go for the real deal...Detroit.
