Angry Grizzly locker in front

I anyone running a Yukon grizzly locker in the front and how do you like it. I have an 08 JKU. I was told it would be basically invisible until 4WD was engaged but I don't think it would be.

You will probably hear it clicking with tight turns, like turning into a parking space, but you shouldn't really notice any handling difference until you actually put it in 4wd.

My brother has a YJ and grizzlys front and rear. His front only clicks once and stays unlocked his rear however will chirp tires sometimes before it unlocks. I guess it harder to unlock under power ? Definitely don't want one in rear.

I have an Aussie locker in the front of my '14 and I notice it all the time. Not clicking, I don't really hear it. I feel it through the front when I turn, even shallow turns at times.
I'm not sure if I should install a thinner shim, it measured in the range, but maybe on the tight side. It is noticeable though, especially tight turns. There is a grab and release that
happens when turning and this is repeated about 6 to 8 times unless it's a long tight turn, then it's more. Your mileage may vary, but I think they are all basically the same type of
units. Maybe installing it with it set on the loose side of tolerance would help.

I have Aussies front and rear and I haven't noticed the front at all. I don't even hear it click. The rear does but it's not absolutely terrible.
