Just going to put out some food for thought
first I see more open diff rigs break then locked rigs
I also see more stock geared rigs break then rigs with lower gears and the same size tires
Now I also know that wheel spin is only good for mud so why would you let your tires spin where they can get good traction?
I know that the KJ has limited wheel travel but still choose a good line
EVERY one should know that the front diff is weak ,treat it as so and you should be fine

I firmly believe that the front of a KJ would be fine locked and geared
but get stupid with the skinny pedal and boom this applies to EVERY rig not just the KJ

Look at the rep of the Dana 35
garbage right? not really
31's or 32's 4.10 gears locked and drive like you have a D35 you should be fine
now 33's or 35's and you are asking for trouble

now I also know that a rear locker is better than a front locker if you only have 1
when you go up hill you transfer weight from the front to the rear so the rear can get more traction
lock it and you dont even have to spin to get up MOST stuff

IMO
TT front
Detroit rear
NO problems and the will work EVERY time as they should
now ARB front would be better but TT is a close second and the TT wont get a leak

I have to agree, if you have less wheel spin there will be less of a chance you blow the front diff. And in my opinion a ARB locker would work best since it is locked unlike a detroit true-trac which is a limited slip differential and would have a sudden lock when there is wheel slip. There are a few members that run the DTT and have never had a problem and also one i believe that has. But i have also heard rumors of someone cracking the front diff with a ARB. Fulltimer I just looked into the price of getting ARB's front and rear with 4.10 gears and here in canada it looks like it would run me about $3750.00 including labour!!!. Does anyone know a place in seattle that would do these tyes of installs? what size 32's do you plan on running also? Sounds like a very similar setup that iam lookiig at in the near future, just wish the made 4.56 gears.
