I would do the rear locker first...just my opinion.....

If you have the cash, doing both at the same time is the way to go.

I would think that you also have more weight in the front so you will have better traction. If you are not loaded down in the rear, your tires are more apt to slip even with lockers. :twocents:

But when you are climbing up a hill all the weight is transferred to the rear.

This is true. I was thinking flat and slippery, like mud.

What type of axles do you have? I'm not familiar with the TJ setup. Usually the rear axle is stronger probably a 44 with a 30 in front. You would probably want to put your locker on your strongest axle. I honestly use my rear locker the most.

I gotta 35 in the back and 30 in the front

In my opinion with that set up I would do no more than a limited slip in the rear and a selectable locker in the front. Dana 35's are not exactly the strongest axles to start and locking them up will most likely break things.
