Just curious, as Clint described it, it has clutches and unloads when turning, my thought was transferring torque to the front axle as the ARB will continue to pull even if the rear unloads. The Lock Right appears to be a good unit, but not a true locker, the Detroit has the same characteristics. My concern was under heavy throttle, the clutch type "lockers" might unload instantly placing a larger load on the front, the ARB won't be harmed, but the axle might. I've never been a big fan of the Detroit type locker, too much uncertainty with engagement, clutches etc. Most guys that try to run the cheaper "engagement" type "locker" in the rear end up installing another ARB after a season or two. It really all depends upon were and how you use your rig.
I'm curious to get feed back from Tim after he runs it a season, ...or He may never notice an issue depending upon the type of terrain he runs in, the ARB will be pulling him around even if the rear locker is not 100% engaged such as cornering or the clutch pack not engaged, so he may not notice a thing, just wanted to be sure that he didn't over throttle the axle the first time out. If there are any issues, it won't be the ARB's fault, just a new type of driving for him.
