No need for 4x4 (which is not truly 4x4 anyway.) Maybe get a Detroit locker instead of the L/S diff. With the Detroit, you will split the torque to both axles 50/50% through gears. GM L/S uses friction plates to transfer power--you may have too much or too little torque to the axle shafts at any given moment, and L/S diffs wear out, leaving you with "open" diff (all power goes to the axle with least traction). The Detroit will keep you going no matter what you encounter, and distribute the load evenly, giving you durability over L/S.
