Need more info????
What are your plans for the truck? Off road trails, Mudding, daily driver, winter conditions, how much $$ do you want to spend, ect, ect.
You will get differing opinions, none are right, now are wrong, they just come from different experiences.
My opinion is that for a truck you drive on the road in winter, you are better off staying open in front. Ive driven locked vehicles on ice and packed snow and it wasnt any fun at all. A limited slip is the middle road, not great on the road and not great off road but not terrible for either.
Personally, unless you have a specific need (mud racing comes to mind)for a traction device in front, I would leave the front open and spend that money on a selectable locker for the rear and ditch the Posi.
