That's not a true locker. However if ur doing just as much or more street driving than off roading then you will appreciate it in the rear. The little bit of skipping between clutch engagement you won't notice off road.
As far as the front goes putting in a posi unit is a waste of money. You need a true locker rather it be a lock right, or a selectable locker something that will actually lock and stay locked as the only time it's used is off road.

Since your running the true track I'm looking at have you had any issues with them. I mean when you need all 4 wheels spinning will all 4 grab and go. Not looking for a rock crawler or a mud machine. But when I lock in the front end I want to know I'm in 4wd with all 4 wheels pulling.

I use and hate my Detroit's. When it lass going around a corner it will throw my CJ like crazy when it unlocks- but it works.
