True Tacoma Width Front Axle Housing 1995-2004
This exclusive axle design is the first in the industry to be released with all new parts. Our knuckle balls are forged from 1035 steel, making them much stronger than stock, eliminating closed or bent knuckle balls.
The axle tubes have been offset above the housing centerline, so the inner axles ride near the bottom of the axle tubes rather than in the center. The result is an increase of 3/8" in ground clearance under the axle tubes. The axle tubes are made from 5/16" thick 1020 DOM tubing with an outer diameter of 3".
The heavy-duty, press formed, 1/4" plate steel center section is shaved to give you 3/4" of additional ground clearance under the differential. The differential mounting surface is made from 1/2" plate steel to ensure studs can not pull out, even under heavy loads. Our housings are precision alignment checked using start-of-the-art, 3D digital imaging equipment to ensure that all Rock Assault™ Axle Housings are 100% straight and true.
The Rock Assault™ Front Axle Housing will come in your choice of bare tubes, with spring perches installed, or 3-link ready with a panhard bracket included. For an additional charge we can install an inspection cap making inspecting your front ring and pinion a breeze. Axle housing is shipped unpainted and lightly oiled to prevent rust during shipping and storage.
Comes with both 30 spline chromoly short and long side axle shafts.
Axle housing is 61.75" WMS to WMS
Important Notes:
- The 3-Link Panhard bracket option is intended for use with the Trail-Gear Front 3-Link kit, which uses Creeper Joints. The bracket may not be compatible with other 3-Link kit joints.
- 3-Link Panhard bracket will not work with High Steer 3 link kits. For 3-Link with High Steer please order bare housing and High Steer Panhard Brackets.
- In order to achieve full ground clearance, you will need to grind the bottom of the differential housing flange flush with the axle housing.
FILL/INSPECTION CAP
Extra large differential fill and inspection cap. Designed to allow quick access for inspecting the ring gear. Features 1.5' diameter access hole. Threaded aluminum cap uses a rubber o-ring for a tight seal. Installation requires cutting a hole in to the top of the differential housing and welding on a threaded bung. Kit includes: one threaded bung, one cap and one o-ring. Plug kit can be ordered loose as a do-it your-self install or it can be ordered installed into a housing if you are ordering a housing at the same time.
