Why do you want this locked at such a high speed?
Get in there and weld it

Hell Yeah Brother
What! I didn't know the raptor had that option.
The company that makes this kit wont tell you if it works on the F150?
Good luck, would be a cool option

That ELD is bad enough on ice/packed snow as it is. Why would you want to have the tailend slide out at say 45mph when trying to accelerate on said surfaces? An LSD would be much better.

Yeah - I'm with @johnday . In _sand/dirt_, I see the desire here I guess if you're driving _very_ hard. On Snow, this would be pretty dangerous actually. Rather than allowing one tire to spin a bit, but maintain traction and forward momentum with the second tire, you are intentionally putting yourself in a situation where as soon as one tire slides, the second tire slides. I can't see a situation in the snow where you're both going over 20mph, AND you need additional forward traction from a locker.
There's a brief discussion of this at https://gizmodo.com/how-to-drive-on-...ice-1680981632 - in the Differentials section: "Having said that, you should never use a locked differential when you have good grip as that wheel speed differential becomes crucial to safe cornering in those conditions"
Basically the issue is that as soon as you're turning at-speed and you hit the gas hard, you're much more likely to spin both rear tires and cause a slide-out.
