I have a '97 Grand Cheroke 4.0. It's got 3 inches of lift, and 31" Cooper mud tires. I just put in a rear locker, I can't wait to try it out in the snow! This thing rocks in the snow with open diffs, I can't imagine how good it's going to be with a locked rear. Well, in the deep stuff, anyway. Something tells me it's going to be a bit squirelly on ice.
