I buried my 3500 4x4 last year in the mud and much to my dismay I realized G80 locking diff is only for the rear. Would it be worth it to upgrade the front diff.? If so would I have to use the same unit as in the rear?

There are a few companies that offer front lockers for your 9.25" IFS unit you just don't hear about them very much. I know Detroit offers a locker and ARB offers an air locker. May not be worth the money but thats for you to decide.

tomac and heartbeatofcanada, both have the new e-locker in the front of theirs, with the flip of a switch, instant lock up, i believe it runs somewhere around 500$

Just to give you guys a little more info, guys are having good luck with the e-locker in other applications as far as I know. I am on a team that competes rockcrawling in UROC so, I see a lot of 4x stuff. The reports I have been getting is that people have been happy with the E-Locker so far. I just don't know anyone that runs one in thier tow rig, me includedhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif
