Easiest way is an ARB compressor run to solenoid, switch, and locker. 

A lot of people are running York compressors with a tank for OBA as well as running the ARB.

Anyone know what the PSI requirements are to activate an ARB locker?

Well the good thing about ARB's is they can tolerate a range of PSI.  Most run 75-90PSI.

ok...ARB really did it right...the compressor came with a full wiring harness and it was so easy!!  i got the compressor installed and ran the air hose to the back of the jeep...now its down at John's waiting for new gears (becasue i destroyed the old ones) and the ARB installed....cant wait to get it back and start wheeling again!
