You don't have to spend $130/pr on Warn Premium hub locks to get a lifetime warranty. And the Warns are no stronger than MileMarkers. I've put ~100Kmi on these off-roading in mud/sand/rocks, and even towing another truck on the highway in FWD when my rear d'shaft was out. The only reason I changed them out today was that the knobs were starting to wear out. Hub locks (other than '87-88 flange-style) can be changed with the front wheels on the ground as normal, and the truck is even safe to drive with the locks removed, but the wheel bearings will lose grease & become contaminated.
The big red NOTICE sticker says not to add ANY grease to the locks - just make sure the wheel bearings are lubed & adjusted properly.
