Lockers for 99SD

I am looking to put lockers on my 99SD. Would like an air activated type for front and rear. My truck is not lifted and I plan to do some snow plowing and off-roading with it. I have a V-10 4X4. Suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Any other suggestions as to other tacks to take. I'm not married the to air locker idea. Just want really good traction when I need it.

Most go with a good limited slip like the truetrac out back and an e-locker up front. E-lockers are usually cheaper than an air locker or OX locker and just lock/unlock with a flip of a switch. No dealing with a compressor or routing a cable up in the cab. Just a small electrical wire from the diff to the cab.

I like the idea of an electric locker. Who make a good strong one? Use them on both front and rear?

Front locked in 4X4

I don't know if the front is locked in 4X4. I think it only locks in 4 low, not 4 high. But then again I could be wrong.

I would put a detroit in the rear and maybe a selectable in the front. I have a lockright in front and its great. If They made a detroit for the D50 I'd have one in the front also.
Detroit in rear no worries.
