Limited slip in the snow would be the problem. You might understeer through a corner. You'd probably be better getting a full locker and only locking one hub which will allow you to have good traction until you need it then full traction. But if you're sticking to the road you can probably get away with just a rear locker or high quality LS. If you always have at least the two rear wheels hooking up you don't really use 4wd as often

Out of the different type of lockers what's better air or electric? I will be mainly on the street with occasional off roading but nothing crazy which is why i was thinking a good LS.

Yeah, I'm starting to collect parts for my build in the spring and I want to go with the Charcoal grey bumpers with a silver body and silver front pad so if I decide to get the Road armor Stealth for the rear,I want the front to match. Looks like yours is getting there!!

Duratrak Tires
BF Goodrich TA Kos are great mud, snow and all around tires. But for snow I would also ay goodyear wrangler duratracs. Those are my recommendations. As you have probably heard me say before don't get General Grabber AT2s they are the worse tire on the market in my opinion.
