If you have front and rear lsds, you’d have to have a front wheel off the ground and a rear wheel off the ground to lose all traction. 2 limited slips will take you far.
also, if you’re buying all your parts at the same time, call Ron at ronsmachiningservice on the phone and ask him to put a package deal together for you. He’ll save you hundreds of dollars over anyone else.

Oh sweet. Thanks! I love this site. Haha I really appreciate it everyone.
Sorry to bump this again y'all. Reading up on some LSDs, it appears they're more difficult to install then the lunch boxes. Why would that be? Aren't they both basically just replacing the carrier that attached to the ring gear?

A lunch box locker goes into your existing carrier, a limited slip replaces the carrier so you have to set up your backlash.

There is more to it if all you're doing is the locker/LSD but if you're changing your gears already then it is no more work, in fact it would be a little bit less work.
Okay so here's what I'm thinking of doing. What do you guys think?

I went with the spartin in the back because I couldn't find a decent LSD that would fit my 27 spline 8.25. That said, if you guys have a better recommendation that won't cost too much more I'm all ears.
