you dont wanna weld it unless you have hubs that can lock and unlock. like mine for example. i can unlock my hubs fromthe rest of the axle for street driving and then i can lock them in when i get offroad. i have mine welded. i also tried a welded rear on the street and trust me you done wanna do that, either get a locker or lsd for the rear.

What is your intended use for the truck? That is the most important question. Only out on the dirt trails/mud, etc. then not a problem!! Cheapest locker done out there.
If you use this on the street for majority of the time, then not really recommended. Driving habits have to change.
Turns will make for barking tires. Some LEOs will cite you for it b/c they think you are intentionally trying to burn rubber.
Tire wear increases alot. So if you already know you'll get new tires down the line, might not be bad idea to try it out.
If you're in ice like conditions, then hold onto your butt! Unless you have good snow tires. Snow is generally just fine though.
My buddy in his Dakota Truggy on 37s has welded rear axle. Drives street and trails and no issues like the above that make it problematic.
My comments are based on ONLY for the Rear Axle...never the front!
