a g80 would solve your rear tire issue, the only way to get both front tires to go at the same time is if you get a lockrite locker. You have to beef up your front suspension a lot to get this to work right.

The full size hook on top and factory one below, you can see the difference in size.

you can either pull one from a junkyard, or go to http://www.ringpinion.com/ and they have a selection of lockers and limited slips to choose from.

as far as towing goes...

these blazers will pull it but destroy themselves doing it.

i've pulled full size cars/suvs behind mine with car dollys. i've also pulled stuck trucks that were hooked up to farm implements..

long story short 2 transmissions later

i'll leave the big stuff to the 3/4-1 tons.
