More traction, Opinions please...!
So as you guys know I've got a Detroit locker in the rear and open front as of right now. I'm perfectly happy with my stock T case, have no desire to ever do duals. Seems kind of unnecessary for snow wheeling in my opinion, but I am considering a front end traction device. Give your opinion please I'm very interested to know what everyone's experience may be and if you can lead me in the right direction for what makes sense for my application. That being deep snow wheeling, any conditions as long as it's there haha. Really want to be able to continue use of 4 high on the road when it's slick out and I want to cruise, and don't want to have the constant concern of breaking birfields. So thoughts on Detroit truetrac or comparable limited slips? Or a real locker ? Or just leave the front open? Interested on the input!

By the way the sun was great last week for topless weather

I run a lunchbox locker, works well. Seems to do ok on the roads

I run arb's in both ends. With any hard locker or limited slip you will loose driveability while on the throttle. Only choices I know of are arb or e-locker. If I had it to do over again i would run the e-lockers for simplicity reasons. I originally had a lunchbox locker in the front but didn't like the noise out wheeling when it would engage and disengage.

Selectable of some flavor, be it e-locker, arb, or zip would be the best idea.
I believe the tru-trac would be a nice compromise too, TT work well in the snow, a little brake pressure help them trick them into be more lockerish.

Well I think I'll give the limited slip a shot because the arb's are great and all but I don't really have the necessity to go all in to that point. But if I drive into a ditch snow wheeling of like to see if it can pull itself out a little better. I know about the brake biasing to try and get the LSD to lock up but of I go into a ditch is it gonna act like an open diff or will it keep locked in ?
