I did some digging and not sure if I suck at finding what I was looking for or what so I’m posting here. Feel free to move to the correct spot or link the correct thread.
I have a 97 2wd ECSB lifted 6” sitting on 35x12.5x15s currently have a 3.73 rear looking to add a 4.88. But it will be my daily and I also plan to use it offroad for camping and the like. This truck hates anything that isn’t asphalt and the posi absolutely sucks. Last time I drove this truck in the snow it was on some 31” pathfinder ATs and traction was ZERO. We had maybe 2” of snow and minimal ice. I was able to pull out of my parking spot and that was it. I couldn’t even back up the 6’ I pulled out and if I went anywhere else I was sure to get stuck. Now I live in a higher altitude town in the country and have lifted it and put bigger tires. And since Ive had the lift it’s just sat and was used for the occasional dump run and my 4x4 was used to daily. Circumstances changed and had to sell the 4wd so the Silverado has become my daily again. I have a round trip commute just shy of 100 miles. The truck makes that journey just fine but I want to add a locker to help improve traction in the snow my tires are pretty decent RT tires (dick cepek extreme country 35x12.5x15) they have about 850 miles on them since I bought them new. And haven’t driven the truck in the snow since the lift and tires 3yrs ago. So any advice would be cool. Thank in advance.
