Sorry, I used to have it bookmarked in my forum bookmarks, but every so often they get wiped out from my profile page for some reason.Let's see what Blaine has to say about it.

Nothing that isn't solved by a knowledgeable gear setter who knows to set them up with a bit more preload on the carrier bearings. Certainly not a truss worthy issue especially for a 30. It's a 30, break it, go buy another housing.IIRC, @mrblaine has mentioned in the past that the Dana 30 has a slight tendency to flex, I would only "guess" that it would be more so of an occurrence on 35 inch tires.
It engages under torque load, and is supposed to ratchet when coasting with no load. (key words "supposed to")It goes on when it decides..
2.) I should get a 1 inch body lift (hopefully don’t need anything else when I install beside adjusting my arms)
4.) I need to upgrade my front Axle (Dana30) with chromoly axle. Anything else I should note... example, should I consider a certain spline vs. another etc.
Doesn't matter if it is selectable. On the street in 2 hi, it sees no torque and is invisible. Offroad, it locks up when it sees torque and that is a good thing. There are no downsides to a front auto locker unless you drive in the snow and ice.#5: Because its not selectable - ie you cant turn it on or off when you want . It goes on when it decides..

That would be a rare situation.What if you're off-road and you dont want it on?
What situation warrants that?What if you're off-road and you dont want it on?
I drive around off-road in 4WD all the time - i dont necessarily want the front locker on that entire time.. as a matter of fact, it's rare that i turn the front locker on.. even if i occasionally get a little front slippage..What situation warrants that?
I guess I'm not a good off-roader because i like the ability to be able to decide if/when the front locker is engaged.
