how much wear gets put on the tires if you have the axle welded? strenght isnt an issue becuase i have only have 33s and im gonna be buying a locker once i regear it, this is just a temporary fix for traction issues

depends on how much you drive. when you make parking lot maneuvers your tires will be chirping all the time, and your basically just shaving off your tires.
do it if you dont DD your jeep or dotn care about your tires.
i might be making it sound a little drastic but it does significantly increase the wear of your tires

It's really not that bad. I've been running it for awhile and the wear really isn't far off from the front at all. Do it.

If you don't do it just think how stupid you'll feel while wheeling when you've got a dana 60 draggin ass all over the place getting stuck spinning one wheel. People on 31s will destroy you.

welded rear = increased wear.
been there, done that, wasted the tires, got annoyed by the extra stresses of it it puts on everything, took it out.
