I am not a fan of welding the front unless you are running a trailer queen. A lockrite is a great solution for locking and it does not reduce your ability to effectively turn as welding does.
BTW- when you do the lift be sure you get your front end geometry taken care of too. An adjustable trac bar and either a riser or drop bracket should be included to help recenter the axle to compensate for the lift.
If you don't you will be like me and have the axle shifted to the left and lose a significant amount of left turn capability (like 50%).
ordered my parts from WH the other day so my issue should be fixed once and for all next week cause i know how much everyone hates trailing behind me on the trail when i have to back up 20 times to make a 180.
