I have searched the forums and found a few similar threads, but nothing that directly solves my problem. I have a 2004 screw lariat 2wd. I don't do much offroading, but I do drive on the beach often. Are there any solutions for a 2wd avoiding getting stuck in soft sand? Would a rear locker help? BTW...my axle code is H9. Thanks in advance for the help.

 

Your best bets would probably be sand tires (or at least, off-road trail tires, partially deflated to have an even larger footprint) and an LSD.

 

I have 295/70/18 Cooper Discover S/T Maxx tires. Is my stock axle LSD?

 

Check your axle code on the door jamb sticker

 

H9

 

H9 83/ 3.55 3.75M Ford Limited Slip
H9 87/ 3.55 3.8M Ford

Sorry for all the questions, I really appreciate the info. If I already have the limited slip axle, is it worth putting a locker on?

 

3:55 LS.. Air them down like Martin said.. 4WD will help.

 

I wouldn't... that's a LOT of money to replace a diff that's already decently comparable to a locker

 

I wish I had 4wd. Trying to explore all options without having to buy a new truck.
