Full floating rear axles
Posted: Mon Sep 11, 2006 9:30 pm
I thought this might be of some interest. Full floating rear axle kit.
I wonder what freight out here would be worth??
It could enable staying with Suzuki gear for a lot longer and avoiding some of the hassles of engineering associated with diff swaps.

Seems to work great on my truck, had a few issues with the bolts coming undone on the drive flanges but I think that is becuase of the locker.
Rob of RS mfg sends a lot of his gear to you guys in the US, he supplies some of the major dealers. He may not answer his emal very quickly though - he is very busy.
