Tech Insight

Large front axle housings see extreme torsional and impact loads, especially in rock crawling, racing, and heavy trail rigs. This truss reinforces the differential housing and long side tube area, helping prevent housing flex and tube movement under load. For maximum durability, consider pairing this truss with a tie-in and pinion guard to further protect the housing and driveline components.
