When we wheel the pee out of our rigs, and constantly put a large side load on these bearings, they will eventually wear out. When my bearings wore out, I found it was 50 bucks a bearing for replacement, not including the labor. Givin Molly's ability to drive her rig, and where that rig goes, I would say there is no other option than to go Full Floater. Full Floater will allow her to service the bearings with parts from the local autoparts store, and much cheaper as well. Full Floater setups use tapered bearings, and places the load squarely 100% on two bearings. The Axle does not share the load. If an axle is busted, you pull it out, lock the diff, and continue on.

Full Floater, its the only solution to bearings when the wheeling gets extreme.
