Properly welded spider gears are just as strong as any locker/spool. Other part's in the rearend/frontend will break before a welded carrier,locker,spool will...most of the time.

When figure gear ratios,Use the transfer case gear reduction in your equation for low lock witch is 2.72 to 1. when figering hi lock it's 1 to 1 so skip that part of the equation and just use your trans gear ratio and rearend ratio.
