Lockers dont help with traction.
Dr.Maxwe001 – well i have a 15 gal compressor now and if I gett he 60  and then use the 15 as a reserve that wil give me 75 gal  thats close to 80 isnt it ?

Sorry but I don't understand this.....I put lockers in my truck, To help with traction. That is what they are made for.

I have never lost control because of my lockers. They do require more steering effort when the front is locked, But it's minor, and dosn't affect steering radius, and I'll never give up my lockers, BTW most peeps I know with front lockers drive in 2wd until they need the traction then engage 4wd. This eliminates steering problems for the most part.

They help in mud and snow, Biggest problem I see is sometimes they don't unlock and will cause the rear to come around if you aren't prepared.

Being a smartass is fine...I love sarcasm myself, but it sure didn't help the guy in this case.

It really looked like you where serious and I don't know you yet to be able to tell the difference, Or I would have laughed and told you to shut up or something really derogatory.  :beerchug:

Also, airing down helps, turning the wheels left and right too when you bog down
