 The old "Lincoln Locker". I suppose if the truck is used just for off roading it is an easy way to get some traction.
 I don't know if I would trust it on the street. There will be no "give" to it to compensate for the different wheel speed while turning,

I have welded rearends in cars over the years. They don't last forever on pavement! My Blazers 14 bolt is welded, but it sees very very little pavement.
