hyena and another friend of mine has that setup.  Only thing I see wrong with it is its hard to steer  and can be hard on front end parts

Ramrod

oh yah and if your gonna go with full spool you should just weld them up instead and save yourself a few hundred bucks

Full spool in the front will be very hard on your axle, and steering.  You wont be able to turn as sharp, but it is managable.  But if you try and drive on an iced over road, you might as well forget it.  I would just weld the rear, and aussie the front.

can a full turn possible on manual locking hub's (on road) ??? how about one side lock and the other open (off road)?? both open (icy road/HWY)??

you can turn just as much but its just harder than a regular locker but they are not easy at all either.  Don't try and drive on paved roads though especially in the ice or snow

Hard to turn on pavement and going downhill on rock slabs.  Hard on axle parts and steering parts.  Go with the 30 spline Longfields or don't do it at all.  If you have the money then go with something else.  there is also about 18 other threads on this same subject.
