Lockers
I have an '08 QC 2500 4x4 with a hemi that I would like to start getting some info for lockers front and rear. After having them on my last truck I feel I can't get anywhere around the farm without losing traction.
I know the truck comes with a 10.5 rear...not sure what the front is? (44, 60?)
I would like to get ARB's on it and just wasn't sure what equipment I was starting with on the front.
I do have the Limited slip in the rear, which is a joke most of the time, but true lock is what i'm after. I'm already set on the ARB and have been for years after using it in my old truck.
any comments or help would be greatly appreciated, especially you ASE guys

You have a Chrysler (AAM) 9.25" 14 bolt front axle, not to be confused with the Chrysler (AAM) 9.25" 12 bolt axle found on the rear of Dodge 1500 series trucks. Also, double check your rear axle before ordering anything. True they make a 10.5", but the 11.5" AAM rear is an option and I find it's more common in Dodge Heavy Duty trucks than the 10.5". The 10.5" is known to be weak and most dealers only order the truck with much stronger 11.5" rear.
Even most 1500 Mega Cabs, are featuring the 11.5" rear.
Hope you are wrong about your rear, because last I knew, not only does ARB not make a model for the 10.5", but neither did Detroit and about the only option was a Yukon Posi.
ARB does make the air locker for the AAM 11.5" and your 9.25" front axle...
ARBs, front and rear would be a great setup especially since they are selectable for open axles on pavement.
