The ProFloat XD60 is ideal for Jeep JL and JT owners who regularly push their rigs in extreme off-road conditions (think 37–38″ tires, lockers engaged, tough trails) but also value on-road manners and efficiency. It’s built for those who might have otherwise jumped to a full-float 60, but held back because of things like needing new wheels, extra unsprung weight, or not wanting 8-lug axles on a daily driver. If you are an avid off-roader tackling black diamond trails or rugged overlanding routes with a fully loaded Jeep, and you want to be able to drive at highway speeds with a smooth, quiet drivetrain, the ProFloat is targeted at you. By eliminating the wheel flange and bearing weaknesses, it can handle scenarios up to the threshold of where a Dana 80 would start to be considered – Dynatrac specifically markets it for up to 38″ tires without fear. This covers virtually all JL builds short of the wildest Hemi-powered on 40s setups. For those running 35–37″ tires very hard, it provides enormous durability headroom, meaning you’re unlikely to ever hurt the rear axle. It’s also great for Gladiator JT owners, who have a heavier vehicle and often tow or haul – the stock JT rear axle has been a point of concern for towing over rough terrain; a ProFloat XD60 can better handle the stresses of a bed rack, tent, and gear bouncing around off-road. In short, the ProFloat XD60 is for the discerning Jeep owner who wants maximum strength but also cares about weight, efficiency, and retaining the stock look. It’s a perfect match for someone building a JL Rubicon on 38s with chromoly front axles – the front ProRock 44 and rear ProFloat 60 Extreme combo covers 99% of wheeling needs while keeping the vehicle as a civil daily driver. Only when you step up to 40s or competitive rock sports would you then consider jumping to the full-float XD60 or 80. Thus, the ProFloat XD60 fills the niche of “extreme-duty hybrid axle” – giving JL/JT owners a tailored solution to confidently tackle tough trails (like those requiring 35–38″ tires, Moab trails, Rubicon Trail, snow wheeling, etc.) with family or friends aboard, and then drive home at 75 mph in peace. It’s the embodiment of Dynatrac’s slogan for these axles: Confidence to Explore® – go anywhere knowing your axle is up to the task.
