Here is the deal, i have a 89 ramcharger with manual hubs on the front and I would like to know what is my better option. Should I get a lockrite locker for the front, or just weld the spider gears together. I do not use this truck other then play and offroading so its not my dailey driver. I just dont see the point in getting a locker for the front when i can unlock my hubs for road driving and then lock them in for offroading. What do you guys think??

Welded spider gears have a tendency to blow apart when you have to hammer on them off-road...at least in my experience. My .02.

i would go with a locker up front, but that personal preference.
