should or can the front and back be wired to the same switch?
ARB is a great set up however they do have one weakness...
if you live in a region that has a lot of variation in temperature condensation will build up inside the airlines and will cause unstable air pressure at times. I’ve had my locker disengage while on trails and I had to open both ends of the line and use air to dry the lines out.
it doesn’t happen often because I live in the desert, but it’s a buzz kill when it happens on the trail.

Have you thought about Eaton Electric lockers? They seem reasonable price and reliability wise (everything is expensive though). If you go electric make sure you have the switches where they are hard to accidentally turn on. Don't want them coming on at 70+ mph on the hiway. Also you don't really want to lock your diff above much more than crawling speeds.
