IMO, LSDs and Lockers are NOT made for snow. The *** end of my truck (4x4 with factory LSD) will break loose at any second if Im not careful on a slick day. I cant even drive my truck in a light dusting in 2wd unless I constanly fight with the rear end. If you are just looking for best driving in the snow, keep the open diff and throw some weight over the rear axle. Just my .02
