Default Automatic lockers

Just wondering If any of you have installed automatic lockers. I'm thinking of putting Spartan lockers in my rear (Ford 8.8) and maybe the front (Dana 44). My truck is not my DD and is mostly for recreation i.e. hunting and fishing. I'm going the auto locker route because of the cost, so selectable lockers aren't an option. Ill appreciate any input you guys can offer. Thanks

I was actually looking at doing the same thing with my bronco. What model are you looking at. What axle code do you have?

My axle code is 19, I think that means I have 3.55 gearing.

I put an Aussie in the back, its a bit noisy around turns but functions well and is pretty easy to put in.

I'm in Anaconda. I guess what worries me the most is how having lockers in front will affect the handling in snow and ice.
