Screw limited slips..........get a locker. Lockrite's and Detroit EZ's can be had for a LOT cheaper than $600.

Unless you plan to install this yourself, I'd just head over to a 4x4 shop and tell them what you want. That way they'll warranty the work and the locker.

just remember that if you lock the rear with only 2wd, and if it snows, you are going to have one hell of a time trying to get the front wheels to turn. when you try and turn both of the back tires will push the front ones strait. just giving you a heads up.
