to lock or not to lock

Ya i dont think youve done a lot of research since you claim it is expensive to lift your truck and there is plenty of info on lockers on here.
it would be smart to actually take the truck off road before you invest in a locker
lockers aren't for mild off roading...

it is expensive to lift my truck unless you do some half ass cheap body lift. show me a kit thats worth buying thats not over a thousand dollars.

Okay you ready for this? A torsion twist free bout two inches. War 153 shackels bout 70-80 is good for just shy of 2 inch so there's two inches right you still with me? Than you get a ranger body lift (can't remember part number) three inches so the both of them your good for about 5 inch lift and all this can be had for under 300 that is by far way under your thousand dollar mark. If you use the search in the upper right corner it'll take you to countless post of how to do it were to look part numbers everything!

i have researched this already. i didnt like the fact that doing the torsion twist could wear out suspension parts much quicker. would never do a body lift. to much work and modification.

The body lift is the easiest and least expensive way to lift a t-bar equipped vehicle, hands down.

Unless you pay to have it installed in which case is what I would have to do and that's far from cheap. The biggest lift I could find for the warrior 153 shackles was a 1 1/4". Couldn't find a 2" shackle
 






You can also add a leaf to the rear pack. That with extended shackles gives you 2 inch. Quite a few people have given cheap easy responses to lifting an ex. It's really not that hard or expensive. I live in aus so parts aren't as easy to get for me as it would in the states so I had some shackles made by a custom shop cost about 50 bucks
 






So when answering my welding gears in front axle, you did here the frot axle part right? im just trying to figure out what hinders the steering in one axle is disconnected at the actuator.

x2 with the shackles but cost me 80, on the Auto Lockers I think (after doing a small bit of research on here) that what you call Aussie over there are called Lokka's here & are 1 of the most popular ones on the market but can't be used in a constant 4wd (all-wheel drive) - http://www.4wdsystems.com.au/index.php?id=70
