Treating the rear axle for rust protection?

[05RubiconLJ]

There has been a lot of complaints, which are completely warranted, about the rear axel rust that many of the members (and non-members) are experiencing on their F-150. Assuming that Ford isn't going to do anything about it, what are you going to do to protect your truck?

There are a lot of products on the market that claim to do the trick, but many are not made to withstand the heat that the drivetrain will create. What is your plan if Ford doesn't step up? What is your preferred method of treatment?

Wire Brush -> Rust Reformer -> Paint -> Fluid Film

I crawled under, sprayed PB Blaster Surface Shield on any surface rust I found. May redo every 2 years, only takes a few minutes. Super easy.
