In the mud it will be awesome... Generally offroad it will be good. If you are going to do rocks with those rears you will probably break something if all you have is a spool.

Would be a good idea to upgrade to 31 or even 35 spline axles and upgrade to the spool at the same time. Better than breaking axles and having to buy the spool twice.

I run a Detroit in the rear of mine, but have driven it both ways. The spool is more predictable in slippery situations. The Detroit tends to lock and unlock at inconvenient times and causing a direction change.
