Dana 44s with 4.10:1 gears (these are axles are different than the traditional Dana 44s so not all parts will interchange). Lockers are a "Tru-Lok" (or something like that) low-pressure air-actuated manual locking differentials.

No. There are no locking hubs or CAD to disconnect the front "hubs" (actually Unitbearings) from the axleshafts, so even in 2WD your front driveshaft won't free-spin unless you have the front tires jacked up off the ground.
