they make both of your tires sping they lock they rears instead of having spider gears they replace them. A 4x4 only has one tire in the front and one in the rear spinning. If you lock the rear then its 3 wheel drive in 4x4 if you lock both your axls then its true 4x4 i welded my rear spiders and gusset them. nut i don't drive on the street
