Sounds like they could use a marketing rep. The Tiger axles are 1/2 shorter
then the short
axle on the Jeep Wagoneer. The Axle housing is the same so it would be a
bolt on replacement if they would make the shorter axles. There one page
flier said to call for custom quotes but I guess there marketing group
wasn't aware of that. A full floater is where the wheel is supported by the
hub not the axle so if you break an axle you don't loose the wheel similar
to a 3/4 truck.
