Yeah, I was just getting ready to ask, would welding hurt you on the street? Seems like it would put things in a bind on dry pavement. I remember driving my all stock 94 in the snow and was always amazed at how much traction it had and that was with pure street tires (BFG Radial T/As).

yes it wears tires out fast if you do a lot of street driving and i've seen a lot of welded rear break and leave you straded. the PO welded this one. i'm goin with a 8.25 for now with a locker, and since i don't plan on going any bigger than 32's or 33's i should be ok. if you get down this way send me a pm and i'll take you out there and show you just what a stock xj can do.
