I don't really feel the need to have an ARB airlocker in my front axle, why not just always have the front locked all the time? I don't live in a snowy area so if I'm in 4 wheel drive I'm not driving on icy/snowy roads where a locked front could be tricky. All my 4 wheeling is at slow speeds. So my question is, does someone make a locker for the front axle other than ARB?

If you are locked in the front you pretty much lose all steering response.

 

When you turn, the inside wheel has to spin faster than the outside wheel, if they are locked, they turn at the same rate.

 

Find a way to put a limited slip unit in the front, you'd be better off. Or drop the bucks on an air locker that way you're only locked when you absolutely need to be.
