Default One wheel wonder

This crossed my mind at work today. How would I go about turning this truck into a 2 wheel wonder? lmao I heard welding the spider gears but um NO lol

Auburn or equivalent LSD would be the cheapest, relatively speaking, and the best if you plan on driving on city streets.

I thought an auburn would turn mine in to a 2 wheel wonder, but instead it was a no wheel wonder... soo much traction for my 3.55 gears... I am kicking myself for not changing to 4.10 or higher when I had the chance..

My suggestion is to get an auburn or other LSD and be sure to re-gear at the same time for a good dose of torque. Looking at 1100 parts and labor.
