looking to add a little traction to my 06 EB 4.0 4x4.
It will be a daily driver for a bit and used in snow during the winter.... but for the summer looking to light offroad use and sand. There are sand trails at the beach and also plan on pulling a small 2000 lb overland trailer on the beaches. Want to do some explorer"ing" on the outer banks, Cape Hatteras, Cape lookout.....

looking to add gears and possibly lockers or LSD in the rear... MAYBE the front?

After reading some on these forums... im thinking a Torsen front helical LSD and a TruTrac rear?

My main concern is... snow and icy roads...... should i skip the front and just go with a TruTrac out back?
 






Put some good tires on it and drive it. If you're going to do serious trail crawling, then I'd worry about adding an LSD.

The stock traction control system will be more than fine for any road use..
