Mate,
Had a Lockrite in the Front of my last Patrol and it was very good though it did have some down sides. When you engaged 4wd the locker was locked on the front end and steering was very annoying though you do learn to adjust your driving to compensate. So with an Auto Locker such as the Lockrite it is engaged all the time in 4wd whether you need it or not.....
My new Patrol I have put an ARB Air Locker in the front and it wins hands down as you have the option to engage only when needed thus being able to maintain steering control. Down side is cost. They are over twice the price of a Lockrite or similar......
IMO, go Air Locker if money isn't a big issue or save a little long for it....
