From my understanding no, not a good idea.

I believe it has to do with the Jeep doing a wheelstand, and the activation of a grenade in your rearend.

Please do it, I want to see the wheelie! :D
Would a stock/lightly modded Jeep be quicker awd or 2wd? I say awd, because you aren't eliminating the weight/drag from the awd components.

I've heard the same thing. It will destroy your rear end.

Your diffs wont last long with slicks/drag radials. Just get some non runflat 275/315s and drop the psi down and you wont have any traction issues. I can hook up with mine no problem with a 150 shot and 25psi in the tires.
