4wd and LSD's - advice needed

OK - heres the scenario. My ST215 caldina GT-T is 4wd with a front / rear split of 40/60 so im told which is supposed to give the car a rear wheel bias and feel when driving.
Now I have issues going up ramps (such as the one in my carpark building) as i have to go up on an angle due to the low front. When im part way up the ramp I usually always get 1 rear wheel breaking traction. The car just then sits stationarry and that 1 rear wheel spins. It infuriates me no end that the front wheels dont come to the party and pull the car up the ramp - but no - they dont.
So if i were going to install an LSD, which diff do i want to replace? The rear one? Would this alleviate my current issues with complete loss of traction when 1 rear wheel spins freely? Or would i be better off looking at the center diff (which i assume is what allows the 40/60 torque split front to rear)? And finally how would replacing either of these affect the driving of the car either round town or at speed? I would not replace a diff just to resolve my car park building issues, but if it will improve the handling of the car overall i will consider it.
thanx.
