Why anyone would continue to consider a semi-float aftermarket axle is beyond me. It's literally the dumbest idea for an accessory for a Jeep other than the retarded angry eyes grills and stupid ass ducks. People with real experience with SF rears are dogging you on this because of that. It's literally putting lipstick on a pig.

I feel like there is a script out there on the internet for how to “go off the rails on a forum” literally always the same exact situation every time, accuse the forum folk for the same thing they just did.

Their mommy and daddy never said “no” when they were kids.

While I’d didn’t see his original thread of the rear axles issue, This is kinda funny, you can spend 1k bucks on your stock rear axle to beef it up before it breaks, or 6k on an axles that’s essentially the same when your running 37s and mild horsepower, or 8500 on a UD60 rear that you’d never have to worry about. Prices just don’t match up regardless of money to burn.

As soon as I saw the post at Eddie I thought

Just found it..asked for advice, got lots advice against, then asked one last time about it with an axle company no one else on the planet has heard of then got butt hurt with the same answers. Weird situation for sure..

Pretty much. Much like you, I have personally gone down that stupid path and found it to be a BIG waste of time and money. God forbid that anyone with actual experience would try and HELP others from making the same dumb mistake.

LOL - that's about it in a nutshell

Dana 60 SMF Upgrade worth it?

I can't decide if I should just bite the bullet and get the semi float D60 from Fusion with the electric locker for my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon. I broke the ring gear in my rear axle 5.13 gears, and now I don't know if I should trust it. I'm Running 37x13.50/17 cooper tires. I'm sure I broke it...

One of my favorite moments was when Dynatrac came out with the “profloat” 60. They wouldn’t list the price online because it was the same as their actual full float 60.

LOL - Obviously, I like Dynatrac and love my ProRock 60 and 80 that I have on my JK but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't think the ProFloat 60 was just dumb.

 

[Disciple Off Road]

Well this was a fun one haha So you come on a forum (Jeep specific no less), ask for help and advise, get solid advise and then loose your shit because it's not the advice you wanted to here...got it. Oh and that now means Eddie is an asshole with hurt feelings

I was curious... There is a $1,611.89 difference between the XD60 Profloat and XD60 full float rear axle with same options. Crazy!

I guess the extra price is in new wheels, steering, driveshafts, psc etc in going with full float 60’s front and rear. With the profit you can keep everything the same. Not advocating for it but….

 

[NPC 6060⁸42]

Wow, you are kind of a whiney baby.

This is why forums are dying, a dude asks some questions. All the "cool" kids get butt hurt. Welcome back to 2001.

I've never broken any axles on anything other than u-joints and CV-joints in Land Cruisers.

I don't normally break anything. I'm not going to go bigger than 37" tires. I'm not out there trying to be the cool guy, I could care less. Just out there enjoying 4 wheeling with the family. I want a small upgrade, I really don't need 60's so I can look like captain cool driving to the mall. Seems like that's what this forum is all about. LOL

now you can ban me because I hurt your feelings further. LOL

Oh there's definitely a big difference in going full on full floats. I was meaning more so comparing just the two rears but you are correct. You would be surprised (or probably not) at how many people want to go semi float just to avoid buying new wheels.

And then end up changing shafts in parking lots so you can drive home. I had enough after the third one. I was like the old man in Christmas Story changing a flat.

Yeah I would have been pissed by the third one. But please don't share your personal experience, people get mad.
