The axle shafts on our full floater rear axles do not carry weight. Weight from a TC is carried by the two bearing in end of each axle tube in the axle housing.

Now Ford has a 6100-6200 RAWR in the F250 and a 6290 RAWR package in the F350 series which adds more mystery to the different axle shaft sizes and RAWR numbers.
IMO this is where having a nephew that works in a Ford truck dealers parts department would be a good idea..... if it means anything.
