Im running ARB's in the front and back with 4.88 gears.... and that makes a HUGE COLLOSAL difference. Night and day. The biggest difference you can make to any 4x4. I have engaged my rear locker and kept it in 2 wheel drive and gone further than my similar rig with open differentials in four wheel drive. Ive done this same test with my jeep and it held true as well.

Thanks for the advice and doing your part for our country. I never served in the military, but I think if I had I would have retired there. I've seen my share of death and destruction and lost friends in the line of service. I've been lucky, but always say more lucky than good. Thanks again for the service and advice. I wish you well recovering.

Btw....you have 10 more years to go... What agency do you work for. I retired as a Major with Greenville County Sheriff's Office, SC. I teach criminal justice at a university now and I love the summers off.

Thanks for that info. Yet another thing to put on the list! I actually wanted to get an onboard compressor but more for the easy access for tire inflation and other small uses.

2nd question if you don't mind. How are you with the stock alternators? Have you found a need to upgrade? I was thinking it might be something to consider with winches and extra lights.

Ive been reading over your Ram Build and I'm quite impressed. The first time I saw an AEV Prospector was in 2016 at Overland East. I think its what convinced me to go Diesel with this build in mind. While I've had to scale back my original project I did notice a couple of items on your build that I wanted to ask about.

The first is the ARB air lockers. Do the ARB lockers really make that much difference?
