Your best bet for on road driving and having the extra grip go with a Detriot TrueTrac,you'd be wasting your money on a ARB air locker in a 2wd,plus you'd not want to operate the airlocker on the street.The Detriot TT is the best LSD out there,no clutches to wear out(gear driven,no friction modifier needed),about $450(?) from 4wheelparts.com.Plus the TT will be completely invisable on road until you need it,no negitive road manners,no strange noises,no sudden activation(like lunch box lockers),and darn near indestrucable.With a little e-brake action you can make it act like a locker also.I run one in the front diff of my KJ and love it.
