Default front auto locker that wont mess with steering?

Im in need of a front locker (or lsd) for my zj's dana 30 that wont mess with steering in 4wd on icy roads, and a manual locker isnt really what i want. Is a Detroit True Track my only option or is there a clutch type unit available?

I think you would be best off with either the TrueTrac which is a very nice posi unit. Or to go with one of the e-lockers out there. Detroit's E-Locker fits a Dana 30.

Might consider an ARB works like a limited slip when not ingaged and fully locked when engaged.

Well your just wrong......ARB's do not act like a LSD when off. They act like an open differential( stock carrier) when off. Also ARBs are just over priced.
