front or rear?

If in the rear, it should be fine if you do a good job. If in the front, I would advise against it.

If it's in the front, it will not allow you to steer with the stock steering. You would need either hydro-assist or full hydro steering to turn it. It would also wreak havoc on your hubs and u-joints. Now, if you really want to have a welded front end, keep only one hub locked in. That way you can still turn and you still have the "option" of both front tires pulling.

Sounds like too much work to lock your front end. If you can afford it, get a lunch box locker.

A "lunchbox locker" is one that you can install in your existing carrier. You may have to pull the carrier out, but it won't require a professional or experienced person with the proper tools to set up the ring and pinion again.
