The Wide Open Design Early Ford Dana 60 Front Truss is weld ready and engineered to add critical strength and rigidity to early Ford Dana 60 front axles in demanding off-road and high torque applications. Built from 1/4" thick steel, this truss is precision cut and contoured to fit tightly to the differential housing, ensuring maximum weld surface area and structural integrity.

Designed to extend across the majority of the long side axle tube, this truss dramatically reduces tube deflection and housing flex.

Tech Insight

Front axle housings are subjected to extreme torsional and bending loads in off-road use. By extending along the long-side tube and tightly contouring to the differential, this truss helps distribute stress more evenly across the housing. The result is improved durability, reduced chance of tube rotation, and longer axle life under real world abuse.
