*1: No,it`s an option.

*2: new rear gears or just add an traction aide which has nothing to do with gears?

*3: Have you had it a month,yet?The factory set-up with open diffs will be adequate for what you describe.This set-up works great 95% of the time.

*4: Any traction aide should be available for your rear.ratio doesn`t matter,only carrier series.
Hopefully this helps.
