Are you saying that I'd have to switch to a slip shaft if I use the rear mounted horseshoe design? I know I'd have to if I used the forward mount horseshoe, but I'm thinking that the rearward would be just fine since it hangs down just like the stock donut.

My only question is -- how does either bearing handle foreward and aft movement of the rear shaft due to suspension travel?
