[QUOTE="firebrick43, post: 5091121, member: 5762"] Most all axle shafts have flanges. The term your looking for is full floating(good) and semi floating(not as good). For those novices who don't understand A Full floating hub rides on bearings on the axle tube. The hub itself bolts to the wheels and the shaft bolts to the hub. The axle shaft only provides the torque to the wheels and carries no weight. A semi floating axle has no hub but just a flange that the wheel bolts to. The bearing is inside the axle tube that the shaft rides in. Shaft takes all abuse, twisting, weight, and shock loads. Nearly all 1/2 tons are semi floating. Some 3/4 ton trucks are semi and others are floating. Easy way of telling is look at the center of the back wheel. Does a hub come out(newer trucks mount a chrome cover)? If so it's full floating. I have never seen a 3500 with semifloating axles [/QUOTE]
