Has the front dig been useful at all yet?

I've been crawling for over a year and haven't ran into a situation where I wish I had a front dig.

Where would you use it?

i use it to readjust aline without backing up,or to simply turn on a dime.It has a brake for the rear so i can dig the front with the rear in nuetral or front dig with the rear locked,also works good when youre dropping off a steep shelf you can locke the rear brake and drag the rear while in front wheel drive helps kepp the rear from cominh up to have more control.just more choices to make it more capable try it you'll like it.

I always thought it was cool, but didnt really think I needed it. Then I drove miniwheelers truck. I think dig is the single biggest performance upgrade you can make to a truck, and without it, you are at a serious disadvantage.

It helps you turn sharply and maneuver without backing up, it helps you climb steeper slopes by compressing your front suspension, it helps you decend steep faces and verticle ledges, and it saves your driveline by removing stress of 'jammed' situations.
