I used a manual switch for the ARB. It took about 1 second to engage, and a fraction of a second to disengage. Power steering and 38.5 boggers were a little tougher to steer with it locked in. No problem with it open.

I've also run 35" tall (37' boggers) on a welded Dana 30. I only broke an axle u-joint when coming off a culvert, one wheel landing and having power to it.
The landing looked something like this:
