I have had front and rear ARB’s in my LJ for about 4 years. I have the bigger air pump from ARB so I can fill my tires. I have had zero issues with my ARB other than the car wash knocking the switch off the housing. I did purchase the spider gears and axles with the larger spline count. (30 I think) but have not installed yet. I like that arb’s engage and disengage right when you turn them on. I have been with friends running rubicon lockers that get hung up and won’t release. I have not separated the switch circuit as previously mentioned, I must turn on the rear to activate the front. I have not needed to just engage the front and put all that load on the 30. I have not heard horror stories of arb’s. Yes if you run the air line next to the exhaust it will melt, if you let it hang down it will get caught on something and get torn out, so will a wiring harness for an E locker. Use the same care running the air line as a wiring harness and you will have no problems.
