    You don't need locking hubs to illuminate the wear on your truck. I think a flashlight will do just fine. Unless you SAS, you have no where to put locking hubs on your ifs truck.

    while it would be nice to not have the cv joints spinning all the time. the easiest way to ElIminate front end wear is to uncrank your t bars some if it's wearing that bad

    Would be easy... require custom CVs, custom hubs, and deletion of the central axle disconnect. No problem.
