Would it be better to go to a ball diff or one way up front?
Actually --you'll find the diff in the front will give the front MORE bite and steering. It won't help the rear----- softer springs on the rear---ensure you have 1.5 to 2 degrees of camber--and 3 degrees of tow in!! You could also put a swaybar on the front only--and lean the rear shocks in a little--middle hole on the bottom--3rd or 4th hole in on the top. All of that will help plant the rear.
FWIW
