Default Rear Aussie Locker?

Does Aussie make a rear automatic locker for a JK Dana 44?

If so would this give me problems as my DD? I do not want to put a auto locker up front because I live in Western NY where we get a lot of snow and I have heard that putting auto locker in front with snow is bad. How about for the rear?

Looking to get some more off road performance without spending a fortune but dont want my DD abilities to suffer.

I am a poky driver on the road and never drive above 65 on the highway and 60 on regular roads. I off road at least 1-2 times a month.

I ran an Aussie for about a year in the front of my 04 TJ here in Montana. It was okay, but it is worth the wait to save for selectable lockers--or at least Detroit TrueTrac limited slips.
Ok, sounds like the consensus is that for DD, I really should wait for a selectable. I will add this to the list.

Wow this list is adding up.

Oil pan protection
Differential protection
Better Tie rod
Better Rear Driveshaft
adjustable control arms
adjustable track bar
34 or 35 inch tires
Aftermarket rear bumper and tire carrier
regear
Locker

This is sure to bankrupt me

Lockers are ok for a DD where you get NO snow or ice. They are actually alright in just snow. But on ice they can be pretty dangerous.
