You might want to do this mod first--

Then for lockers you will need to find an open carrier to install a locker into, or, get the locker type which includes the carrier. The LSD carrier won't accept the locker. Locking the rear works real well


Since the 2nd gen front hubs cannot be unlocked, a locker in the front ( unless it was selectable) would be a PITA to drive on ice or snow.
