Default To Lock, or not to Lock

Hey guys, my nephew told me about a little problem and i thought Id shoot it to you guys. He found this really nice 2000 Ranger XLT for a great price and it has everything he wants, except 4x4. So, to fix that, he wants to lift it a bit, put on some big good all terrains, and lock the rear....do you think this is a good option and will locking it make the truck considerably more able?

The locker will make it somewhat more capable, but as your nephew probably already knows that the 4wd is better. But 2wd rangers make great prerunners.
