One word...DON'T after many hours of discussions around a camp fire a few friends opted to do it..WELD THE SPIDERS..well a year later and more than a few$$$ they have all replaced various broken parts and returned their Diffs back to factory OR sprang with the $$ to install a traction control device..

Does this list include the one last week who complained he could not turn after welding the spiders?

Yes that is one of them--

If you've ever had a vehicle with a lincoln locker then you know the downsides as well as the upsides. Mine is welded, yea tight turning sometimes sucks but I know why I welded my rearend and I'm happy with it. If you do weld it be smart don't try doing donuts on the pavement and weld all 8 corners and you'll be fine.

I welded mine together and it has been the best thing i've done for off-road. no problems yet. I keep up with the 4wheelers now

I also have an extra set of spider gears, so if you screw it up i can sell you the parts to fix it

I have beat the crap out of my welded rear end. 28" tires and a big block and havn't broken anything yet. Knock on wood Great off road but its worthless on the street after that

That pretty much says it all. You'll have to ride on dirt or mud to give the inside tire something to slip on while making turns, then sometime, it will give you some trouble even on tight turns with little momentum.
