Not at all...I'm not lifted, you'll eventually realize lift doesn't play a large part in wheeling. However, I would advise one locker or at least good tires though, snow and open differentials don't always mix well. But if you had someone breaking the snow ahead of you should be fine with just good tires.

They should be pretty easy though! Just pull the axle out and swap 'em out right?
