If you do it, stay away from a detriot type locker as it will add strain to axles being overtaxed by tires and sand. Also I do not think that it would really help much in sand either anyway. With deepest possible gears you can find and stock motor it should not do too bad.

I do believe I would do to the wall here and install 5.71's. You would need all the leverage you could get in sand with those tires and with stock engine you are not likely to break anything either.

With that tall and wide a tire, your biggest problem will be broken CV joints. And your turning radius will suck big time with that wide a tire.
Better start stocking up on spare CV axles now.
