Axle, Differential and Axle Housing Modifications

	Almost any imaginable axle / differential combination is possible. Here is an example of a 9” rear axle modified to work with a hydraulic rear steering system. Of course, not everyone is going to need this degree of versatility, but, it can be done. Bigger Pic
	Front and rear axle upgrade and swaps are common services offered at TLE. Pictured here, is a Dana 60 front axle, and a Corp 14-bolt full floater going into a high HP high torque truck. Leaf – coil spring conversions, spring and shock mount relocation can be performed at TLE. Bigger Pic
	Axle housing and axles may need to be narrowed. This is often necessary to fit heavy duty axles and housings in a compact truck, for example swapping a Ford 9” or Corp 14 bolt into a Toyota. At TLE, we have a lot of experience and a proven track record for axle housing and axle narrowing modifications. . Bigger Pic
	The Ford twin I-beam concept was a great idea that simply needed refinement. At TLE, we have developed a jig system to narrow Dana 44 and Dana 50 I-beam front ends that BOLT ONTO existing Dana 30 I-beam systems. A custom tract bar system can give you 27” of front-end travel without any major modifications. Here is a picture of a narrowed Dana 50 I-beam arm made to fit a compact Ford Truck Bigger Pic
	Or, if you feel like getting rid of your independent front suspension, that can be done too. Here is an example of a solid front axle swap using custom made tract bars and coil springs. Bigger Pic
	Despite popular belief, there is absolutely nothing wrong with independent front suspended trucks. Just like any factory suspension system, they are designed for the general population, not the avid four-wheeler. Similarly, just like any other suspension system, IFS can be greatly improved with some careful planning and ingenuity. Here is a custom made long-travel IFS arm. It’s pivot points on the vehicle were relocated, and the custom arm itself is longer. Bigger Pic
	Career change: Formerly a Dana 50 I-beam front end from a F350 is now a rear axle for a compact pickup truck. The axle “housing” is custom made. The front steering knuckles are now used in the rear for a hydraulically controlled rer steering system. Once again, anything can be done. Bigger Pic.
	Custom made tract bars are constructed to take all kinds of articulation abuse. In addition, they are designed with a “kink” to provide extra ground clearance. Bigger Pic.
