Default D44 Full Float Kits?

Does anybody make a full float kit for the factory rear non-Rubi 44? I currently have a bent driver side rear axle shaft (at least I'm pretty sure thats whats wrong) and figured if I'm going to spend the money on replacing shafts I should try to look into a full float kit since a 60 is a way way way down the road dream at this point. Any direction or advice is greatly appreciated.

For your rear it looks like you are running a factory 30 spline 44..you could go to 35 spline d60 shafts but this will require a new carrier in the form of a arb locker but these shafts will still bend at the flange.rcv makes a high quality 300 m 35 spline shaft that will work but then you will have to cryo treat your r&p to keep the shafts as your weak link but if you also do a retube you now have a lp 44 pretty much as strong as any hp rear 60 in a smaller,lighter package but....your front is still a issue and your steering is also running on borrowed time.
