For not much more, you can get the new Mopar Rubicon 44.

It's against my conscience to help anyone "upgrade" a Dana 30.

Good advice right there.

Off subject kind of... Is this including the toy elockers?
If the compressor bugs ya that much hook it up to CO2.. just get a good regulator and a electric silinoied...
I would suggest staying away from the ECTED... my friend went through 3 in his D30 all were factory defective
... then the one in his D44 rear did the same thing... Get a ARB.. at least you can repair some things on them and they are not crap 
FYI
ARB's can be operated off of compressed CO2. ARB even makes a cool little compact CO2 setup called the "jet pack" if you want the cool factor.

The ECTED style "Locker" is really a limited slip with an electromagnetic activator. Once it exceeds the amount of torque it can hold it starts to slip. larger tires, deeper gears, and low range on the transfer case quickly reaches that limit.

Air leaks are 99% installer error... enough said
I'd go 99.9%
Just about any problem with an ARB locker I've heard of or witnessed has been installer error. Look how many people have them and have been running them trouble free for YEARS (5+). If they were junk, those people would be having troubles too. I had my rig hopping on pavement (don't ask, helping a neighbor) and I didn't hurt anything (60's and 39" tires). ARB is also awesome to deal with.

The front axle is junk - 2.5" OD tube
5 on 5" bolt pattern
62" wide
Special pinion yoke/flange
Brackets are special for the JK only
Am I missing anything?

I've had good experiences at Six States (14th South 3rd West)
Eric's good to work with.Oh, and I run a modified Eaton E-locker. It works pretty well now. I'd do the ARB if I did it again, though. I've had pretty good luck with them, personally.
