Spring kit????? What's it look like? I would suspect that it may have something to do with the cad, to help it disengage???

First I have heard of this....

Wouldn't a locker make street driving difficult because of how our trucks rise gauge the axles? I've always been warned against it

With the detroit in the front, the driveshaft and such will just turn all the time. Gas mileage may suffer a little bit, but, that's about it. Ideally, some flavor of selectable locker would be best.... but hey, I wouldn't argue with a detroit for the front.
