Yes but if I break a shaft I can still limp it out of the woods to swap it out or atleast to a better spot. With a semi float depending where it breaks and your location the whole wheel may fall off causing you to be stuck even worse.Its no fun to retieve a 40" tire from the bottom of a hill or out of a mud hole. I will never run anything but FF in all my trucks.FF axles are intended to keep weight off the actual shaft. In a wheeling rig its not a terribly big deal because you wont be putting 10k on the axles. Regardless of if you run FF or SF swapping broken shafts sucks, only difference is if the tires/brakes come off or not. With the exception of 3rd member style axles.
