Both wheels have power but one will spin without enough traction.

You can put a limited slip in there. Tap crazy4offroad on the shoulder, he's real good with that stuff, I aint real knowledgeable on the posi stuff. Hotrod nicknames that one wheel spinning thing "peg-legger" lol...

You CAN put a posi or a locker up front, but its a short time thing. If your planning on trailing with it, i would unlock 1 hub so you would be able to turn. Or all four wheels pulling is going to want to go straight no matter what.

I'm running a lunchbox locker up front and it's not too hard to steer, there's some torque steer but not enough to cause problems with control. I drive on narrow fire roads up in the mountains, if you go over the side you're just gone, and feel comfortable as long as I keep both hands on the wheel.
