WHY ? Have you ever tried to drive a 4 x 4 like that on the road ? Off road maybe.

I have Eaton Truetracs (torsion LSD) in the front and rear diffs of my Explorer. While it is primarily my off-roader, I can drive it on the street just fine.

But I have a solid axle in the front of my Explorer. Me personally, I don't like traction devices in IFS. A rear locker will do more than 2 clutch LSDs ever will.

I think that the FX4 package came with limited slip front diff. I can't say what the spline count is. So they should be available
