4hi or 4lo for left foot braking with open diff?

Rear LSD and open front. When I’m crossed up do I use 4hi or 4lo when trying to brake and gas at the same time? Or doesn’t matter?

I unsure I understand you. If you're trying to force to other wheel to spin, I'm unsure this will work.

My truck only locks the rear in 4lo.
- It’s something people do with no front or rear locker. They try to brake the spinning wheels to distribute power. I only have a center lock.
  
  Ok I know what mean. The toyota offroad has the A-Trac feature that is supposed to do that. Again only works in 4lo.
  
  I would suggest only 4lo for gas break. Usually if going 4hi it's speed and momentum. 4lo for if a wheel is hanging and going slow; not rock bashing.
  
  I could be wrong, I'm a novice.
