Front gears & locker?

Front gears & locker?
Hey everyone, the time is getting close to complete the 4WD, but I have a few questions for the front axle in my truck (82 Waggy 44).
I'm going to be regearing to 5.13's (just like the rear) and I'm also looking for a locker.
I drive my truck daily, but I do want to have fun off-road and not have to worry about 1 tire up front spinning instead of 2. I need a locker that can hold up to the street and off the road. But I also don't want to pay an arm and a leg for an air locker. Any suggestions?
And for gears, I have Yukons in the rear, but does it really matter with brands of gears? Master install kit needed as well?

I was reading this on an item on Ebay...
"When installing this gear in a differential that was originally set up with 3.08 - 3.73 gears, a carrier is required $59.00 If you wish to retain your stock carrier a Thick gear set is a better choice."
So should I get a thick gear set or what? I'm confused!

D44s take 2 different types of carriers...
one that takes gear ratios 3.08 to 3.73
and
one that takes gear ratios 4.10s to 5.13s?
if your axle came with 3.54s then you have a carrier that can only support 3.08 to 3.73s unless you get THICK gears 4.10s to 5.13s or get a new carrier then you wont need thick gears....
hope that makes sense.
