Drivetrain & 4WD Components FAQs
What does an axle truss do?
An axle truss reinforces the axle tube, helping it resist bending under load or trail impacts. It is often paired with a heavier-duty axle build. Check that the truss matches your axle model and that your suspension setup leaves room for it.
How do I know which Dana 44 or Ford 8.8 parts I need?
Confirm the axle model and then the vehicle year, since axle housings have different variants. Axle details are in the listing title or description. If you cannot identify it, call (920) 249-7744 before you order.
What is a 1-ton swap bracket kit for a Wrangler TJ?
It lets you mount a different axle in place of the stock axle, using brackets that fit the Jeep's frame and suspension. Titles here name the axle casting and the Jeep years. Read the compatibility notes closely, since these are specialty parts.
Do I need a carrier bearing drop kit with a lift?
On some lifted trucks, yes. Lifting changes driveshaft angle, and a drop kit lowers the carrier bearing to restore it. The ICON kits here are listed by vehicle and lift height.
Are these parts for Jeeps only?
Most are for Jeeps, especially the Wrangler TJ, JK and JL. There are also parts for Super Duty, Ram, Tundra and Land Cruiser. Use the vehicle selector to narrow the list.
