You will have serious draw backs with a full time locker in the front especially on a heavy truck. Mainly steering problems. But front and rear lockers give you a great advantage. I would wait until you can afford a selectable locker in the front.

A detroit true trac shouldn't give you the problems in the front that a full locker would. I am not sure if they make one for the front but if they do i'll be putting one in for sure.
