Ya,, I would hope the PR is stronger. Since I am mostly ignorant as to what can and cant be converted on an axle(usually anything is possible) I asked Dynatrac what it would take to make mine a full float at Tierra Del Sol last year. Their reply was it would be cheaper just to buy a new housing and sell the old.

I would think you could just weld on full float spindles..... I welded new one on mine and i dont see any reason to need everything else.....i did however have to run 14 bolt hubs as i ordered front d60 spindles... You could also get the front flanges that bolt on spindles from ruff stuff as another option...

Next I ditched the ****tbilt rear tubular for an eautogrilles swing out tire carrier. This thing has been beat on pretty good and I have no complaints at all. Sure the coating got its *** kicked and it got dinged a little on rocks, but all in all i was happy.
Mounted my hi-lift to it by drilling 2 holes and putting 2 bolts thru them..
I then bought a hitch cargo rack from harbor freight for like 75 dollars and cut it up a little.
Grinded my swing out bumper to prepare it for the cargo carrier.
And walla.

I like this idea to carry sandy stuff from the beach and have a shittybilt rear bumper with tire carrier going on today or tomorrow (it was cheap) and I want to mount a basket like that that, did you have any issues with noises or anything you would have changed?
btw badass build that I wish I could do to mine, but I have no reason to around here where we have to travel 9 hours for good rocks so I just get a RK kit (was cheap) and some other stuff to make it perform decent when I hopefully get to go out and wheel it somewhere with real trails.

It worked out well and I had no complaints. It held about 300 lbs on my 1600 mile move. I debated making it removable but didn't as i didn't want any noise.
