This is it! The Ford 9" Axle Housing. This axle housing is a touch different than you are used to seeing from housing fabricators, this housing is not quite round! To put it simply, if it was round it would be weaker. The housing has 14 different facets to the basic diamond shape resulting from 36 individual bends! The end result is an axle housing that is the smallest shape possible and strongest shape too, AND there are no abrupt edges to hang up on passing rocks.

Thats right, its nearly round! But its not......but it lets it be small and I see Axle Housing clearance improvements only slightly behind strength as the primary reason to use a fabricated housing. It has 14 different surfaces to make the semicircle......We could have made it round but its substantially stronger with the bends, each one reinforcing the next and a stronger shape just doesn't exist for an Axle Housing.....

The Ford 9" Axle Housings have 1/8" clearance of the ring gear because Ford made all ratio R&P's exactly 9" in diameter. 3.08 ratios are 9" & 7.20's are still 9". Another beneficial thing to keep in mind when deciding on which axles you want to use is the NASCAR influence. NASCAR has been driving down the price of 9" axle parts for 50 years!

They are available in 1 length (68") and you can cut them if you need shorter. They will come in 1 tube diameter and thickness but you can try and convince me that 3 1/2" x 3/8" wall DOM isn't strong enough. They will all be internally reinforced the same way (way strong). You will have the option of front or rear and left or right drop.
