Default RE: diff lock or spider mod

I want to lock the rear diff because the truck is hardly ever on all four wheels, but I run on pavement and grass too much. It's just like putting a spool in a real vehicle. A locked diff is the best for traction but it's hard on diff parts, dogbones, and tires on high traction surfaces.
