If you're just talking about floating the front caps, I would machine up a dust cap (or drill out a stock cap) that your center shaft could stick through without allowing the grease to sling everywhere. The rears would be a little trickier. I think that the rears would have to be set up on a spinner type mount and then just weight the cap so that it doesn't spin.

I hope that this answers your question.

i have skirts on the rear so not worried about them, I was thinking of welding a nut to the spindle and one to the inside of the hub cap and then use a piece of all thread cut to the exact length i guess i could just drill a hole the exact size of the all thread that i use so i dont sling grease on the white walls

ive only seen this dunn on front ends, because you can attatch it to the center of the spindle (because it dont spin) but the rear end spins so it cant be dunn. you might be able to get a matching hubcap and weigh the bottom quarter of it with some lead or weight so it wont spin but it will kinda "wobble" or "walk" when the start of rotation, not staying 100% still

I think that the all-thread would work fine.
