Front Spool With Hubs
I ran full spools front and rear in my last YJ and I wouldnt have had it any other way. No delay in locker engagement, no air lines to break or leak, just no worries. There was some scrubbing on the rocks in Moab but the PSC hydro assist steered the rig easily. Yes, there was some backing in tight corners but nothing unbearable. If you have the need for one tons, spools are a perfect choice.

thanks, finally someone with actual experience. I asked a few guys out here that run them, and just like pirate half hate them, half dont. Did you run slugs or hubs? Id have to run hubs with a spool and fear i will blow them often. Honestly in my scenario i think slugs and a select able is best, but im still somewhat on the fence..I will probably drive one of the guys out here that are fully lock f/r and see if i like it or not.
i know but i have selectables and know what thats like. i wanted actual spool/hub input. i figured i shouldnt have posted it here. as i said though i will just spend a day with a hub spool set up and truly see how much it bugs me. if it even slightly bugs me wich it probably will im going slugs and a zip.
agreed. is yours spooled/lincoln locked up front? i will hopefully try it out this weekend to know for sure. most the spools ive seen can be a pain to lock unlock also. thats half the reason i want it, its cheap and i can say i tried it from experience. i like to live and learn, but if its something id regret i dont wanna waste the money.everything else is telling me go zip.
