Default Do I need to Install Lockers?

I am going through the process of installing the Ultimate FT lift with adjustable track bars. Do I need to install lockers at this point? What are the pros and cons of doing so? Thanks.

Lockers have nothing to do with the lift, If your planning on regearing, thats the time to think about adding lockers

Lift has nothing to do with Lockers.

Lockers are generally decided on when re-gearing because you need to remove when regearing. To locker or not to Locker is a debate that has been going on for some time. It's a matter of the wheeling you are doing.

I plan to change out my gears when I do my lift, thus the reason for the question. I thought it would be a good time to do so. What additonal cost? I have a 2-door Rubicon.

Mine is a happy Rubicon. That doesn't fit in that category.
