Contantly getting stuck while wheeling, don't know why.

I definatly think that adding a locker would help, but I think I'm having the problem even with all 4 tires are on the ground. I think what I need to do is film myself getting stuck so I can really get an idea of whats going on because its kind of hard to know exactly whats going on when I'm in my truck. But back to what I mentioned before, is it possible I don't have the appropriate tire sidewall thickness for the weight of my truck? Maybe its just my driving but I seem to have the problem going slow and fast, when I start lurching and bucking arond, bouncing up and down, it gets even worse when I give it more gas, unless I really just floor it and bomb up the hill, but I feel like I'm gonna break something if I keep doing that.

I'm wondering something...
This bucking and bouncing you (Fo by fo) are experiencing...might be due to the dry surface area where you live. Open diffs, no diff at the transfer case....maybe the drivetrain is binding a bit here and there as the vehicle trying to maintain traction between right side/left side and rear/front. You don't have to lift a tire to lose traction, but when you catch there's a lot of torque behind the drivetrain to propel you and send you bouncing from tire and supsension rebound.
Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Yeah, I think it's more personal preference than anything, I've been building SA rigs for about 5 years now and have never (before now) wanted to cough up money for a 7.5 IFS diff locker, but those days are changing.... I do prefer a locker in the rear first though, vast improvement over open and IMO has way less effect on steering and 4wd road manners. Only my opinion and preference though like I said. A front locker definitely could never be a bad thing, especially if you are lifting tires.
Now I can lift tires all day long, and my truck never stops, slows, or sticks.
