If you are going to be driving on icy roads, then shoot for a locker that will allow you to turn it off when necessary....Like an ARB, Electrac, or, dare I say it, Ox.

The selectable locker is mandatory for snow/icy roads.

Is your axle a full float axle? I think it should be because its a 1 ton, but I'm not sure with it being a van

Yep, I have a non-selectable locker and I drove it on ice. It wasnt fun, but it wasnt dangerous and, since I am in Texas, I dont plan on doing it very often.

Get a selectable locker

Since you are taking it off road, then a selectable locker like ARB, so you get good on road manners with the extended length van.
