Default arb lockers

I have an unlimited renegade ( sahara in the US ) and am just about to purchase front and rear arb lockers has anybody any objections to these or is there anything better on the market. Thought I would get some opinions before I fork over the bucks.

Some have commented on the susceptibility of the air lines to damage. If you felt it necessary, this could be addressed by care in placement during installation, or the use of reinforced (red) airline.

I had dual ARBs in a landcruiser that I had and they were awesome.

I would recommend getting the larger compressor and inflate kit while your at it.

I had front & rear ARBs on my TJ. They functioned well, but the durability was not the best. I replaced two rings in the compressor before I ended up using a Power-Tank CO2 system to run the lockers. I also had to replace a seal in the front. You may want to look at e-locker options.
