Yeah, depends if the locker uses couplers or stock side gears.

Only rear lockers can use couplers. All front lockrites dont have couplers

Wouldn't a rear lockright with couplers fit in the front fine with a set of 26 spline axles anyway?

yep it sure will
but his problem is that he has one in the front on 22 spline stock axles
so he will need rear side gears to use it with his new 26 spline HD axles.

For the front end as far as I am aware these are your options...

1. Locker without couplers and stock axles.
2. Locker without couplers, cromo axles and using rear 26 spline side gears.
3. Locker without couplers installed in a rear centre and cromo axles
4. Locker with couplers and cromo axles.

Another question, when running a 26 spline chromoly, what air locker would you use in the front? I'm guessing it would be the RD88 (i think). Which is usually for the rear? Is there any modifications which have to be done to the center or locker to get it to work in the front?

Cheers

Yes, use the rear. You can use a front one and swap in 26 spline sidegears but since ARB changed their sidegear pricing it is a pretty expensive option now.

the actual price of the two main sidegears has not changed. its the addition of four matched spider gears to the kit that adds to the cost.

Yes, I know they have added the other parts which has added around $200 to the price. You say the sidegear price hasn't changed but you can't just buy the sidegears anymore.
