I think I'd want limited slip if I used my truck for daily driving, some irregular towing, and weekend offroading (nothing too harsh).
Ideas?

i had a 3.55 LSD in my truck right now..and on dry pavement i can hook all day..
but even with 265/75/16'* i still break the tires loose on wet pavement without even trying..maybe thats the 315 ft/ibs of torque though lol
id like to swap over to a 3.92 posi or locker and the equivalent up front..
the only advantage with 2wd is you can mod your drive train easier where as with my truck i have to mod while being considerate to my transfer case

Beef up the transfer case maybe? Is that possible?
Hooking on dry pavement and spinning wet sounds good to me! Your tires aren't very big! My Bonnie tires are almost that size, stock. It'* weird seeing those trucks out there, full size and all, that have like 15s or somethin on them. Looks real goofy.

That'* a better size right there, the 285/75/16s
I think it'* awesome to slide my '79 shortbed Chevy! I went out on the dirt roads today and was goin like 35, like I normally do in my car. With a truck, it'* totally different! Sliding all over the pace, scared as ****! God was that a rush!
