Not that I looked closely but iirc that front axle is based off the 8.25. Still without locking hubs you're going to be spinning the front driveshaft all the time. I wouldn't recommend it.

When it comes to winter driving I have had my jeep in a few configs, open, limited slip(tru-trac) and Locker. Its always been locked in the rear but the front has made been through each.
With a limited slip in a non disconnect type axle ice sucks pretty bad. The ice is slicker than the friction in the diff so it doesn't turn well and acts like a spool. You can't shake this problem my switching into 2wd either. I hated everything about the tru-trac diff anyways and when I got to try it on ice it was the nain in the coffin and I ordered my locker.
The locker in the front is odd to drive, takes some work, i would never let anyone else drive it in slick conditions but it does unlock and act like an open diff when you get off the gas. It is also real easy to do some really fun stuff LOL.
Thats my take on front diff options and slick weather, although being in Oklahoma i only have limited chances to test this stuff out.
