    If you like to steer, the best is a select-able locker. The loads up front are way less so even a 100,000-200,000 mile one would see you through your truck's lifetime - keep your eyes peeled for a used ARB.

    Did OP end up putting one in? I am thinking about a limited slip true track for the front and a ARB locker for the rear.

    This is in your front diff? Have you noticed changes in MPG or steering?

    Have you stopped to think that maybe there is a very good reason front LSDs are not common?
    LSDs won’t give you the benefits you are seeking without some major downsides.

    you can barely articulate the situations where you need one. And the examples you give are situations where a front locker would work better. If you want to go mud bogging then the stock Toyota platform is not ideal. You need an SAS or something else.
    The expense to install an LSD is nearly the same as a full locker anyways.
