Default why t-counterweight?

Just picked up an XJ about a week ago.. doing some work here and
there.

Can anyone tell me why my transfer case would have a counter weight
attached to it? By the looks of it its at least 20# or so.

Thanks.

Thats the millon dollar question..... What prompted chrysler to install vibration dampners on some and not others???? Maybe some transercases were inferior to others???? Someone should ask Chrysler!
Serious note I haven't heard why some do and some don't..
