Hope these links help. This is only some of the stuff for each brand of article I found. There is a huge amount of info out there, including a lot of manufacturers that are making probably 95% of the stuff that you guys are trying to design. In other words, I barely scratched the surface with the links I posted....

Keep in mind that a lot of the ring and pinion guys also deal with their own full float conversion kits and parts for a huge number of axles. It would be worthwhile looking into their products also.

This link shows a huge number of popular axles with easy to identify pictures.
