full floating is an axle type, most commonly found on heavy 3/4 and 1 ton trucks. On that Jeep, probably means that it has locking hubs in the rear.

What are locking hubs in the rear for?Lockers? :?:

 

[far_right]

the full floating axles, it could also have drive flanges.... gotta link?

 

[Bounty__Hunter]

If you break an axle shaft with a full floater, you can pull the shaft out and still mount the wheel back up for the drive home.

the weight of the vehicle is placed on the axle flange/tube, rather than on the axle shaft itself... it is a great design... and like bounty said... the axle shaft and the hub will be a seperate piece, so you can run with a wheel if the shaft is removed
