Lockers

or you could get a winch. A traction aid in the rear axle will do wonders as well.

I have a Suburban and two Blazers with Lockright lockers front and rear and they work great. You do have to watch driving on slick roads they do act different.

Oh ok, I think I’ll start with just installing one in the back for now and see if I’m happy with that. Thanks for the advice

I did order a winch, I’m just irritated that I got stuck in that spot and after I got helped out I seen a few newer trucks go right over that dang hole. I was embarrassed I couldn’t make it and had to be pulled by a ATV lol.

I would rather make it through than find my gloves, get out in the mud, pull the line, find an anchor, make the pull and re-spool the line.

That’s exactly my thought. I will be adding a winch for situations I really need it but for a pot hole I want to be able to drive through it

You will be happy with the lock right or the spartan.
Easy to install and very smooth in my experience.
I had it on ice and snow and I wouldn't say it was scary as long as you were driving like you're on ice.
I know some people feel invincible if they have a 4x4 or a locker.
It's just a little edge.
An added benefit but you still need to drive smart

I hear you, and have traction aids in both axles, and a winch.

The rock @Blazer Ralph added help the new trucks get though.

Awesome thank you so much for this info I really appreciate you

For the rare occasion you will need it I would look into a selectable locker. The full lockers are not much fun on ice or snow. And you have to learn to drive with them. You kinda have to coast around corners to keep them from binding and going bang when they release. And there is a notable wear in tires. I run a Detroit in mine and can get scary with icy conditions.
