front rear or posi lock?

I wound not weld the front in a XJ even with the axle disconnect. It will make it a pain to drive on and off-road, but will give a ton of traction. Our XJ’s Dana 30 is welded with the posi-lock and it sucks. The posi-lock doesn’t work well with the welded diff, very hard to engage and disengage. Even in 2wd your driveshaft will always spin, which means more vibes and it always pulls to one side since the driver’s wheel always turns. In 4wd there is no give and turning is next to impossible a locker will at least give some. If you like I will put the front driveshaft back in and let you take it for a ride. We have to put it in right before a run that’s how bad it is.
