I have only heard of bad things coming from locking a stock D35. thats just what i have heard and seen though...never done it myself
are you talking about the option of 3.73 and up or 3.73 and down?
any other takers out there? They make two options for the 35 but how do i know which one to get? Any options for the front 30?
Lock the front, forget about the D35, especially in a DD.
The 30 in my XJ has been locked for three years. I have had no problem and I am runing 33".
Setting aside the D35 issues in general, I have had no problems with the EZ Lockers. Agreed that locking a 35 might not be the best idea.
Adding a locker out back will make for some quirks that you should be aware of. Getting on/off the gas can cause the rear to push side to side, and doing so in a corner can be unsettling until you get used to it. The unit will unlock and let both wheels turn at different speeds (going around the corner), but as you apply power, it locks back up, making the rear try to push straight.

I just installed ez lockers in my 04 wrangler tj this weekend,when i orderd lockers from quadratec they recomended hub conversion kit for front.I ordered kit but recieved wrong kit.I put both lockers in anyway took it for test drive i just felt a little drag in front,the rear felt just like iz explained.I didnt think it was that bad,ill get used to it.Easy installation i had then both in a couple of hours.im going to order hub kit too,they say cuts down gas milage.

If you have any drag on the front when in 2WD, something is wrong.
I could be wrong but have never heard of lockout hubs for the 5x4.5 axles.

Warn makes 2 conversion kits, 1 is the small hub kit which keeps the 5 on 4.5 Bolt pattern and the other uses premium hubs which converts to 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern... I believe milemarker or superwinch also has a kit that is 5 on 4.5 but I have only heard a few rumblings about it over the years...
LOL. $1160...
Doubt you would ever save that much in gas.
Looking at a detroit ez locker and didnt know if it was any good. it would be going in a 04 wrangler d35 with 3.07 gears that is a daily driver.
Forget about it and spend the money on the CJ6. 
Quadratec told me if i put easy locker in front without hub conversion kit i would do damage? is this true?

On a TJ ?
That is ABSOLUTELY B/S.
I've been running it w/o for 2 years as have many others.
there should be no damage from a lunch box in the front of a tj
w/o lock outs as long as the locker was installed correctly
as keith said the cutoff for the front rear is in the t case
not the hubs themselves
lots of guys run lonch box lockers w/o manual hubs all day everyday on a DD with no ill effects
Thanks alot Keith and Andrew im returning hub kit,thanks for the info saved me $1200.

For that kind of money it would make better sense to install an ARB.
The axles free-wheel when in 2WD with a Lock-Right so there is nothing to really be gained by lock-out hubs.
