Default Pulling Around some BIG Rocks

Well the other day at work we decided that we needed to move some rocks that surround our parking lot so that we could make some room for some more parking spaces. I immediately thought that it would be fun to see if my truck could pull them, one of them was a really big rock and took alot to move. So we went and bought a heavy tow strap and started to move some rocks. The truck definetly had plenty of power but with the terrible factory tires their was no way to plant the power. With enough trying and keeping the rear tires on the pavement we were able to move all the rocks. I have a video of this if anyone can point me in the right direction of how to post a video. Is the best way to put it on youtube and give a direct link? This brings me to another question, when i was pulling the large rock i stepped on the throttle and peeled out just to make some smoke. When i did this one thire broke loose and the other did nothing. I bring this up because i have the LSD and i was wondering if that was what it was supposed to do. Thanks
