If a semi-float axle were such a great design for heavy load carrying, there would not be full-float axles used in all commercial trucks from class 4 through 8/9, as well as almost all class 3 (your E350 van is one notable exception) and overwhelmingly most class 2. The heavy load carrying classes are exclusively the domain of the full-float axle design.
So Larry you are saying one bearing per side is better than TWO bearings per side?
It is better the axle Supporting the Load, instead of a much larger spindle?
While a semi-floater is fine for it's rated capacity, I have never liked them.
I have made sure every 3/4 ton PU I have owned had Full Floating axles. Ford chose to cheap out and put semi-floaters in many 3/4 ton PU and Vans.
