ARB's will engage as low as about 40psi. they will handle 130 - 140.

if air lockers what surface do the seals run on? is corrosion any issue at all and should say a few drops of air tool oil down the lines every now and again be helpful ?

all seal surfaces are within the final drive/diff assembly and are lubricated by the axle lubricant.

corrosion can be an issue in front diffs if they are not regularly run and the oil all drains off the seal surfaces.

it may be covered in the manual, but as i yet i dont have any lockers only the compressor. i am about to install a tank and was wondering what pressure switch i can use on the comp. To run the lockers off the pump at one pressure setting, and put more prssure into the tank. This is what i was thinking and looking into. thanks for all your help so far
