Why the hate on Dynatrak ProFloat60?

[word302]

Definitely a challenge for any growing company. The only thing I can find that are different with their semi float is the flange design. And it results in a $3K price difference between a similar Currie or Fusion product.

The difference is that if you break an axle shaft you can still drive home.

How so? If you toast any semi float it isn’t going to be easy to get home. Is there something different about dynatrak’s design on their semi-float?

I was referring to the difference between semi and full float. I would never fork out the money for new axles unless they are full-float.

if you aren’t going to run larger than a 38 then get some chrome moly axle shafts, a truss and a nice diff cover and you’ll be fine. The pro float is over kill for 37/38. I have only seen one break on 37’s

Tire size doesn't directly have anything to do with bending the axle tube. It's the mass of the vehicle and the skinny petal. Go fast, KoH style, and you can bend an axle. Lots of reported bent axles on stock D44's with 37's, but those guys were surely on the skinny petal. Crawling up rocks in 1st is not going to bend your axle.

37's with chrome molly axles are considered the edge of what you can do and plenty of reported failures with that wheeling hard. 1/2" more R with 38's - T=RXF and possibly a wider tire with the 38 and you're really pushing the limits.

I wouldn't design my axles around the wheels.
