I'd go with a posi. It will be easier on the tires when you're are the street

Re: no more 2wd to 4wd

I would look at doing an Eaton E-Locker or Detroit Electrac. These units are positractions. The Eaton is a clutch type and the Detroit a gear drive Tru-Trac type. Then you push a button and they are truly and completey locked. The best of both IMO. Another option would be an Ox Locker, but I like the others better for a streeter, especially a 2x4.

Edit: the Auburn Ected is another choice for a limited slip & then locker with the push of a button
