With a decent Limited Slip Diff, and if it loses traction in both tires, both tires spin, and in turn loss of control, if it is the front end... no steering !
If a 4x has a good Limited Slip or Locker in the rear and a standard Open Diff in the front, it should be able to go in a lot of places with out any trouble and without the fear of loss of steering.
It used to be that new car manufacturers wouldn't add a traction device in the front diff, open diff only !
If the vehicle is only for Off-Road Use... Lock away but keep the front end steering pointed in the direction you want to go because once you slip it in 4x that front end is going where IT wants to. Yes there are steering control devices, BUT that is more money.
Enjoy !

thank you for making my mind up! Lol. I got a 28 spline LSD for the rear diff just wanted to have some other people's input to what could be had and what affect it would have on the street.
