I swear I'd go with something soft up front, probably get flamed here but if you cant go selectable get something less as hash as a locker,
I like to think as soft as the TrueTrac is if you have an A.T then you could easily stab the breaks and it would lock. I dont know your location but Ice and snow don't fare to well with harsh traction. You could be in a situation you might be in a lot of trouble if you induce a slide. Hard not to with a spool! "Kind" traction as I call it, may have a tire holding you steady.
Stress is stress maybe not now, maybe not tomorrow, but it will shorten you front ends life span. Also when cheapo's fail it is usually catastrophic (teeth shear, carrier damage) there are pix all over this board, and it may hinder your return. (you might not be able to get the truck home)
Adding traction in the rear first is good as the rear is not as complicated as the front, are you having problems now with getting around?
I wouldn't add a locker at all if I wasn't getting stuck.
Most light pockets get the "lunch box locker's" well....because they are the cheapest, most people that know you get what you pay for stay away.

have fun
