i would like to know the pros and cons of welding a rear end i know nothign about it other than it makes both tires spin at the same rate, i plan to use the vehicle on the street

 

Pros- you won't get stuck, you'll drift around every turn, and you'll do perfect burnouts.
Cons- you could snap your axle, you won't be able to turn very well without spinning your tires, and you'll eat the crap out of your tires. Not good for street driving.

 

for a truck that is mostly on the street, not a good idea. if its a cheap play truck to go muddin in, then you could do it.



where in IL are you at?

 

No go if a street driver, it would be one thing it if was only driven to and from the trails, or if it was a drag/fun truck where driveability is sidelined to performance

 

no...

 

it is only driven to and from the trails, i live in Joliet IL and its not a truck its actually on a jeep but i dont feel like going on a jeep forum

 

Welded gears will suck on the street..... cornering will be interesting, on slippery stuff (wet streets....) your truck won't want to turn, it will want to continue going straight... There is a reason folks don't use spools on the street, which is effectively what you will have. Please don't do that.

 

If your only go to and from trails its not going to be to bad, it will take some time to get used to.

Another thing dont blast it around corners and you will be fine, bronco's with a welded rear end are fun as hell

 

My truck is my daily driver and I recently put the Lock-Right locker in it. It is surprisingly street friendly. Even when its wet outside it won't break loose around a corner if I drive like a normal person. But if I do give it some gas it becomes a 7000lb toy

 

So question.. How do you check if your Limited slip is working right ? Im not sure if mine still works.. However when i turn sharp and floor the gas pedal my rear end does fish tail, and when making u-turns the rear does spin if i step on the gas hard.

I have all time 4wd tho not 2wd NP249
