Rock Assault Front Axle Housing
Trail-Gear is proud to introduce the newest addition to the Rock Assault" Axle Housing family, our Rock Assault" Front Axle Housing. This exclusive axle design is the first in the industry to be released with all new parts. That's right, our axle housing is not made with 30-year-old used knuckle balls. Our knuckle balls are forged from 1035 steel, making them much stronger then 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 short side of the axle tube has been lengthened by 3", making the axle IFS width, so there is no need to run wheel spacers. A 27 or 30 spline short side chromoly axle shaft will be supplied with the axle housing.
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. Shock mounts are also included. Axle housing is shipped unpainted and lightly oiled to prevent rust during shipping and storage.

Rock Assault Rear Axle Housing


Trail-Gear, Inc introduces a new concept to axle housing design. This exclusive design features axle tubes that have been offset above the housing centerline. The inner axles ride near the bottom of the axle tubes rather than in the center. The results are an increase of 3/8" ground clearance under the axle tubing. Axle tubes are made from ¼" thick DOM tubing.
The heavy-duty, press formed, 1/4" plate steel center section shell is specially shaped to ensure a minimum of 3/4" additional clearance under the differential. The differential mounting surface is made from ½" plate steel to ensure studs can not pull out, even under heavy loads. The outer
offset flanges are made from 4130 Chromoly to prevent distortion or bending. Housings are precision alignment checked using start-of-the-art, 3D digital imaging equipment.
The Rock-Assault axle housings use stock or aftermarket 1986-1995 Toyota Pickup/4Runner axle shafts. An optional fill / inspection cap can be installed for an additional fee. Additional lengths as well as front applications will be available soon.
Overall housing length is 51 3/8" mounting flange to mounting flange. Empty housing is 54 lbs. Includes drain plug. Spring perches, shock mounts, and vent not included. Differential stud kit and RTV silicon are included and are recommended for use with this axle. Unpainted bare-metal, oiled finish to prevent rusting. We recommend degrease housing inside & out before installation and painting
Rear Axle Bearing Pocket
These rear axle bearing pockets fit most Toyota Pickup and 4Runner axles made from 1986 to 1995. This bearing pocket is made from 4340 chromoly and allows you to use our rear Toyota or Samurai Rock Assault" axle housings with an aftermarket disc brake kit (coming soon). No junk yard or used parts are required.Before we made this product you would have to steal the bearing pockets from another rear axle in order to use our Rock Assault" housings. Now you can build a completely new axle with no used parts whatsoever (after market disc brake kit
required). These bearing pockets are sold individually, two are required to build one rear axle housing.
