Hey redrider, You can't simply put lockouts on and have part-time 4x4. If you did than your truck wouldn't move becouse all the power will be transfered to the wheels with least resistance which would be the front becouse of the unlocked hubs. It works just like an open diff. in your t-case but when you shift into 4-lock then power is transfered evenly to both front and back. Also I have bought the warn premium lockouts and they work great.
