Ran Lock-right front & rear in stock M37 for years. Great value & performance! Easy installation as everyone says. However when the front axle is engaged it is extremely difficult to steer since all 4 wheels are turning the same speed. I was stuck twice because the front locker would not allow the truck to turn tight enough and was forced to run wider than I wanted and into softer dirt. (6000 # trucks don't like anything much soft). Anyway I removed the front locker (put it in the rear of another m37 & put that rear in my front) and enjoyed the truck much more.
For the money most Dodge folks benefit greatly from only a rear Lock-right.
If a better setup was available I would run it. I have ARB front & reat in Land Rover & hydraulics in Pinzgauer love both.
My 2 cents,
Jim
