what you are requesting is a locker or spool. Thisemakes it so that you get traction to both tires all the time. There are some downsides to them, street manners will be effected. But offroad they are just sweet!

You need a locker for hard off-road use, or a limited slip diff for towing and better on-road manners than a locker or spool

you could always weld the rear. it's just like a locker and 100th of the price!

Although I would change the statement
"You need a locker for hard off-road use, or a limited slip diff for towing and better on-road manners than a locker or spool"
to
You need a locker for hard off-road use, or a limited slip diff for towing and better on-road and OFF-ROAD manners than a locker or spool

i know folks that have d60s welded as well as 14FF with no problems ever. i'm a man of the cheap and i try to get the best results for the cheapest. you can pay $250-$800 for a locker or weld it for the price of a sixer.
