Not that I totally agree with SeaRubi, but here's my take. It is harder on components. I have to re-tighten my rear u-bolts a couple times a year because the binding really puts a lot of stress on them. I could definitely see the stress exploding a welded carrier on a smaller axle. It is a lot more predictable than an autolocker though. I've had both in the rear of a street-driven SWB rig and I prefer the simplicity and perdictability of the lincoln locker. I have also heard the opposite from people running welded rears in heavier rigs as the extra weight over the driven axle produces more understeer rather than just chirping.
