Default Thoughts on automatic lockers...

I'm going to add lockers to my sahara when I have it regeared to 5.13. I'd like to have e-lockers with the OEM control pod. Are they better or worse than air lockers?

Automatic lockers, or Selectables?

E-lockers and air lockers are selectables...

For selectables, ARB is the top of the line. The one that all others are compared against.

From the info in that thread, the D30 E-Locker is a very good option. The negative is that the D44 E-Locker isn't as good as the d30 version. (4 pin for the d30, 3 pin for the d44) So if you go with the front elocker, you are left with a choice of what to use in back. A 3pin elocker or a 4 pin arb, which you would have to get a compressor for.

Or I could just put on front and rear rubi axles with the OEM lockers already in them, right?

If you can find some cheap take-offs, sure. If you are buying new, you would be better off just going to a ProRock front.
