Only locking one hub is a bad idea. It gives you the most unpredicable, and improper handling you will ever see. Your tuck will turn 100 times better with both of them locked in, opposed to jutst one. Trust me, I have alot of time spent doing both.

Just put it in there and forget about it.

yea NEVER drive on the road with one hub locked...talk about scary. especially if you dont have rear wheel drive. you touch the gas it it tries to yank the wheel outta your hands and shoot you into the ditch.

heres the best thing i can tell you. do the mini spool if you plan on NEVER driving on the road with ANY wheels locked up. doing this is for offraod use only, and when you are in 4wd you should have both wheels locked in, not just one. thats about all i can tell you. if you want to drive on the raod...ice....whatever, then get a LS and put it in there. the mini spool is only good for offraod use as far as im cncerend.
