ARB rear air lockers are availiable for them both front and rear. Also most auto lockers mate. It all depends on how much you want to spend

If you want to run a front locking diff of any description you will need to source a steel front axle housing and 3rd member from a manual V6 grand vitara or XL-7.
with your setup as described you will break the front alloy housing easily.

isn't the 3rd member what the yanks call a pinion carrier, it's the bit that holds the ring & pinion.
there are 2 types of steel carriers from the GV's one will bolt straight up & one will require some fab work
this thread shows the 2 different types of mounts.
