ive ran welded front for about a 1 1/2 years and love it now that i have longfields and unlocking one hub doesnt do any good you will be able to turn one way easily but it will still be hard turning the other way, and i dont recomend welding it uless your going to put longfields in at the same time and i hope you have power steering i wheeled for about 6 months with 36" tsl sx's with the welded front and manual steering and it sucked i didnt get to pick the lines the truck did
