Welded Rear will make ANY pavement driving horrible and more frequent axle repairs LSD would be the better option if u gunna drive on the road.

It will kill your rear tire tread too, my buddys got a spool in his 9" on his ZJ and his tread disappears.

 why do you have to have an old redneck pick up to weld your diff and gain some traction?
this isnt a daily driver. i have a wj as well. this will only be drivin to the trail, wheeled and drivin back home...

If its going to be a dedicated offroad rig sure why not, but if you do it and you drive on the street regularly thats redneckish.

The long wheel base of the ZJ makes the welding not nearly as scary as something short like a TJ. Just do it, and laugh at people when they're stuck with their lesser LSD

I have two buddies with Range Rover Classics that have welded rear diffs; one is just a trail rig on 35" BFG MT's and the other is on 33" LTB's and that is his daily driver (we just recently drove to go wheeling in Maine and it was fine)! If this is just a trail rig that only sees pavement to get to the trail I would say go for it...

If your going to be cruising pavement at all with tires that big your going to have a really hard time. Oh, and have fun replacing axles and u-joints.
