I have been asking the same questions. Right now the only lockers available for the Dana 44 are the Aussie Ected Locker (Electric Locker) and the ARB Air Lockers. There are no lunchbox lockers available.

In the front, assuming you have a Dana 30, they do have a lunchbox from Aussie available. Otherwise, you would probably want to match up with what is in the rear - they do have both the Aussie Ected and the ARB air lockers for the Dana 30.

Hope it helps - if you find anything else, please let me know....

There are several lockers available for the front D30, including the Aussie, which is a "lunch box" locker. The rear is a little more difficult, but basically any D44 full locker which is designed for the D44 with 3.73 and numerically lower gears can be made to work. It may require drilling out the ring gear bolt holes but it shouldn't be a big problem for a qualified installer. Call David at Northridge for reliable information on JK lockers. Good luck.
By the way, Auburn makes the ECTED.

I have a Lockright locker in my rear axle. It required some drilling out of holes, but other than that it works great. It has some slight clicking when doing sharp turns on pavement. That's the only difference I can tell in daily driving. No ESP/traction control issues.

I can tell a huge difference offroad though. If I recall correctly it was about $250 and install was done while the gears were being changed.
