The reason it hops has nothing to do with the diffs. When you steer a vehicle, the front and rear tires spin at different speeds (in addition to the left/right speed difference). With the transfer case locking the axles together, they can't spin at different speeds. Instead, tension builds up in the driveline and when it releases you get hopping.
