I’m sure you’re right about a front locker not being necessary, but it might be helpful in deep snow or to keep from sliding sideways on ruts or rocks, which traction control can’t really help with. But I’m not sure how a front locker would work with the traction control, might not be compatible without some reprogramming. I just hate being stuck and I am spoiled by my lifted super duty with 37’s. Never been stuck in that truck, even after 20+ inches of snow plowed up over my doors. I just put it low range and the truck walked right over it. No substitute for ground clearance and diesel torque...Congrats! I haven’t seen any with a leveling kit yet but I’m sure people would be interested. I’m curious if the front suspension is the same as the fox 2.0 system that has adjustable level. If that’s the case you could in theory adjust the front level without purchasing any parts!
I haven’t seen much on front lockers but I really don’t think it is very necessary. I think you’ll be surprised by the capability with how light the truck is, and the traction control is good enough to figure stuff out typically.
I purchased an external air compressor which will work well for airing up tires after off roading. May explore some way to mount and hardwire to the switches, but space is very limited under the hood so would have to get creative with placement.
enjoy the new purchase!
