No arguments here! That is my favorite set up for all-rounder trucks that still see a lot of "normal" truck use - Tru-trac in rear, E-locker up front.
For extreme off roading (crawling, mud, etc), different deal.

I spent hours on days on weeks researching this during my last deployment. Everyone has an opinion, and obviously they differ for various reasons. My reasons for doing what I did changed a couple of times, and I learned some stuff along the way. I'M NOT TRYING TO START ANY ARGUMENTS, or say that my way is better than anyone else's! This is just MY reasoning for doing what I did, and why it works well for me.
I went for the tru-trac and I love it. It's pretty seamless in its operation, and having that mechanical engagement is damn near like having a full on detroit locker, just with better street-ability (yes, I've driven both). It doesn't snap the truck around. Plus, you're not gonna overpower clutches, or eventually wear them down to the point they're useless (see: factory LS).
