Default Disable traction control when using air lockers?

Hi,
I'm going to be installing Ashcroft air lockers, and HD axels in my 03 Disco. Do I need to disable traction control when locked? If I do, how should that be done?
Thanks,
Steve

Negative, it can be left on without issue.

Thank you. Yes, I do have CDL. I am thinking of using the cld switch as an interlock for the air lockers, so they can only be activated when CDL is engaged.

Well you could force the 3 amigos and then you won’t have traction control 🤣

I wouldn't want both lockers engaged anytime I locked the CDL. Just my preference but I only use my rear locker when needed and most of the time CDL is adequate even with no TC as my amigos have been on for years and never bothered to fix (I know I know its not hard just something else always pops up that needs more attention..).

Thanks. I ordered the assembled differentials from Lucky8 with 4:10 gears. Should get here by the end of the month.

Make sure you order yourself a D1/RRC rear tailshaft as well so you're not delayed like I was. Lucky8 by default builds all their diffs with 4 bolt flanges.

Ordered this bracket for the switches. Will be a nicer installation.
