I just realized that and was coming back to edit my post.
Next thing after the elocker is going to be duals with a triplestick, so I'd have 2low (and 2lowlow, if I wanted it). This is some good food for thought, thanks!

I think 185:1 will be plenty.
Cool. I appreciate the insight from you guys that have been there and done that.
Sorry for jacking your thread, Evolved, I'll shut up now.

No sorry's needed. It was a good conversation with good points from some very knowledgable people. It really made me think about my setup and if I should change what I have. I think I will keep what I have because I have never noticed the feeling of being pushed into an obstacle. But, I have never ran anything different and don't know anything different. Maybe I am missing out and making things harder than they should be??

I honestly loved my spooled rear until I had trouble setting up for a downhill obstacle on Pritchett Canyon one day. I had to take a line on a non-obstacle that made me go WAY off-camber because I couldn't position myself for the downhill easily. I bought a Detroit immediately when I got home. I would love an ARB in the 14 bolt but just don't think it's worth the $1k for a rig I might use 20 days a year.

This is my constant struggle...
I always agree with Carl as a rule, however;
From a pure capability stand point if you are only going to lock one axle, the front will do more good than the rear. Think about it you need your locker mostly while going up things, the weight transfers to the rear so you have a pretty good shot at having both rears with traction, and that little extra grip up front will often get you up and over.
In my bronco I ran a lock-rite up front and open rear for years. I also had 2 wheel Low capability.
every time this comes up someone with selectables on both axles says they are going to try this, hell maybe this will be my excuse to swap my detroit for an ARB in the rear of the xj...
Of course a locker on the front axle from a potential to break parts stand point is a whole other story...
