Lol it doesn't work that way. Your driveshaft has nothin to do with posi, single, or limited slip. That's all in your carrier unit. You van weld your spider gears together but that will tear your carrier up if driven on the street like that. Just have professionally installed posi trac carriers in it with some 4:10s

A lunchbox style locker is the absolute cheapest "SAFE" way to get posi traction so your Jeep can safely be driven on the trail and on the road. I'm talking Aussie Locker, Lockrite Locker, etc. that type.

No. If you want posi trac carriers put in your rear and front then it's possible. Having lockers are very hard on your axle shafts when driven on pavement though.

I never said professionally meant a shop. I don't own a shop and could set this up no problem.

I can speak for Aussie Lockers. The directions they come with are pretty straight forward. An Aussie can be installed in a couple of hours with basic hand tools...and a little patience. I've had mine front and rear in my XJ for a little over a year and my Jeep is my daily driver and weekend warrior.
