ARB in front, considering a Detroit in the rear, but as it is also my daily driver, and it does snow here in the winter, I'm not sure, maybe just ARB all around.
Had the truck 3 months.
Went camping and exploring the surrounding hills.
Stock tires, open diffs (why a 4x4 doesn't come standard with at least Limited Slip is beyond me )
and some gooey mud and a really heavy front end, sunk to the frame.
I had gone to the exact same place the year prior in my Tacoma and it did just fine.
I did have BFG AT's on the Taco, and the whole truck probably weighed as much as just the front end in the Dodge.
Had to hoof it in the June sun at @9,000 feet elevation for at least 2 miles
(I'm not a little guy, and a smoker to boot )
and found a nice young couple with a Ford F150 and a shovel.
Broke my tow strap 3 times before I got out,
duplicate can be seen in the pic above, the little one with the hooks on the end.
I have his much bigger brother now, as can be seen in the pic.
At least I had a cooler with some bottled water in it for the hike, but no recovery gear.

Phox,
I've watch your truck over the last year and man you have made so serious mods and BOMB's to your truck!
Look REALLY sharp... Keep it Up...

dont feel too bad.. My powertrax, that i thought was a full on locker, left me hangin in sand too, its a limited slip, and even then, it really bites..... Im lookin at locker (s) in the future soon.. perhaps just a rear for now.. I have heard that opens are better for snow tho, not sure how true that is tho..bein that it dont snow down here, and limited slips, well they are ok, but not when ur 4x4 is not working.. Vaccum actuator hit the poops.. Posilock should be here at the end of this week...
