Are you talking about locking hubs?????? A "Locker" is in the diff, not on the ends of the front half shafts, and there is one.... as in singular, in the diff. The H3 has a full time 4X4 T Case, so there is no point to add free wheeling hubs capable of locking until you can disengage the front drive shaft in the T Case. Some other guy makes that.

If you mean locking differential, there are two readily available for the H3, the Eaton E Locker (which is what GM used in the rear and 09/10s fronts), or the Arb locker. IMHO, the easiest way to upgrade an 06 to a front locker and get rid of the aluminum diff carrier is to find a front locker from a 2009 or 10 I5 H3 with adventure package, that would be a cast iron front diff with E Locker inside, just run the wires for a dash switch and you are good. While at it you can replace the worn front diff bushing and or upgrade those as well. Might even go the steering rack mod from outfitter designs as well.

The ramman dude has a ton of complaints at the BBB and Ram forums, I would not be in any hurry to give him my CC info. for anything.

If you check the other forum there was a guy who did the lockout hubs (the first I recall) and he had catastrophic results. The whole thing failed miserably and he came back to warn against it. Not sure if it was rectified later on but someone did point out at the time where the issue would be.
the 2wd transfer case planetary (sold by the same guy) works though.
