Medium Weight Axle Truss

This is our Medium Weight Truss. This truss is designed to give you the
torsional rigidity required to run a link setup well. We all see lots
of tube style trusses in use but a tube dosen't address the twist
introduced with torque input, tubes will make the axle stronger and
give a place to mount your upper links but do little beyond that. Then
there are the plate steel variations that are also great axle
strengtheners and even better mounting points for links but again, do
little about torsional twisting. Our truss designs incorporate a full
torsion box for strength in every way others do but the box design also
resists' the twist incurred with extreme torque input. No bolts to
break or keep retightening, weld and walk away! It has a .25" shell
thickness and a .25 baseplate thickness. This truss has a 5.5"
clearance over the axle tubes and 16" clearance over the inside length.
The Torsion box measures 1.75" X 3.5", a little bigger than a 2 x 4,
about 200 times stronger! Some of the rear axles this will fit are Dana
44, Ford 8.8 & 9", and the Toy Mini. Some like the Dana 44 with
2.75" axle tubes will require minor grinding for the best fit. All can
be adjusted to lower the 5.5" rise with a Plasma Cutter or Gas Torch in
minutes if required.
