Custom axles?

So.....
i think this brings the tally to Lightning 3, F150 lariat 0...
burned the trans first, popped a cv like a chew toy, now we made nasty with the rear axle. i havent inspected the damage yet but it let go and it did it noisy style.


What i want now, Full floater axle, something i can run a locker in and will handle my hp very comfortably, and be able to haul heavy loads without burning bearings.

what i think im lookin for is a custom built 9". i have a spare 3rd member, i would want tubes cut and shafts cut for the 97-03 track width with the 5x135mm pattern. im worried about the 9" because i know my father has overloaded his old pickup (64 sounds familiar) and burned the wheel bearing out once.
also another question will be brakes.

who do i have the best luck with?
