A locker for the front is a bad idea. Our front diffs. (almost all of them) are made out of aluminum and cannot handle the stress that a locker would put on it.

The design is so poor even the rare cast iron front diffs can't handle a locker.

This is the only locker available that I know of. But like everyone else has already said, it's not a good idea.

Why do you want a front locker? Do you have anything in the back?

And that people is one of the first persons you see in a ditch during a snowstorm. They never understand why because they are in a 4x4 and think its 10 foot tall and bullet proof. No reason in the world to be going that fast on any slick surface. Frankly lockers will only help it to swap ends in the snow, ice, or heavy rain.
