[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 428461, member: 18789"] FouledPlugs is 100% correct. All the shaft replacement does is get rid of the failure prone vacuum assembly controlling when you get 4WD. Don't need manual hubs at all, You are essentially converting your front axle to a TJ setup and they run lunchbox, selectable, and automatic full case lockers all the time. The transfer case doesn't apply any power to the front driveshaft in 2WD so no issues on an auto or lunchbox locker. On a selectable locker, even better because it is an open diff when it's off anyways. Long story short, you are good to go with no worries whatsoever. Run the locker you want and convert the axle shaft if desired. [/QUOTE]
