ARB (when engaged) will not allow for turning....it in essence becomes a spool. It is a great idea being able to disengage it if turning is required, but now you have to hope it disengages when you want it too.
Detroit also makes a wide selection for the front that does not require any kind of compressor etc. They offer an ez locker all the way to the full blown hardcore lockers.

No first hand experience but I researched this some time ago and the most recommended product seems to be the Detroit Tru-Trac. It can be ordered from Randy’s Ring & Pinion who have some very knowledgeable people to assist with the selection process.<O

I would get a selectable locker, I wouldn't want even a TruTrac limited slip in front on ice. I plan to do an E-Locker when I have the extra money, that way I don't have to add air just for the locker.

When you get to a sharp turn you switch the ARB off. Then turn it back on if you need to.
I don't mess with the t-case.

That's why some of us are recommending an ARB or =.

I referred to the transfer case on these trucks as NON convertible to a twin stick option like the NP205 was able to be converted.
If you've driven a twin stick, then you know you can disengage the rear or front to remain locked, yet make unbelievable turns to correct your path of travel.
This is what I meant.
