Default Limited slip

Is it possible on a 2008 f 150 2wd to put a limited slip or positraction on it? ONly had it 2 weeks and already got stuck. If so what do you reccommend? Thanks

Thank you GrnMachine, I will look into that. I am a photographer and took a client out by a stream for photos and got stuck in loose rock. After an hour of wearing a new tire out and both of us digging and scrapping it finally got out. Very good impression on a first session don't you think.
