[QUOTE="m3dragon, post: 1048185, member: 9079"] To keep thread jacking brief. The Raptor rear end while strong is semi floating. So if you break the axle your wheel with what is left of the axle will go flying out. In a recent event this happened on a Gen 10 F150 where he was slowing and then the axle broke and went rolling past him with what was left of the axle. Full floating adds another set of bearings for load distribution. Link trucks transfer weight a little different then sprung. The Giant I think addresses this with the extra shocks on the axle to dampen the impact load. So summary, risk is axle brake from increased load = bad. One of the better videos that explains the axle types and why. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFu-6tckyc8[/url] [/QUOTE]
