Defelice Prototype axle truss

These axle truss's are made out of 3/16 plate. They stiffen the steering stops, truss the axle, and guard the diff. They will be a weld on peice and will be available with holes for the guys still running u bolts. Were excited about this new product and will be developing one for the rear axle as soon as production starts on this. We appreciate any feedback or interest. -Travis

looks pretty good, ever think about some kinda plug for the oil fill hole, seems like it would be pretty tought to get to and get the plug in the diff out when its packed with dirt/rocks

what kind of price?

really seems kinda pointless, the best trussing to be done is on top of the axle and where the balls press in.

Thanks for the responce, were planning on using an allen bolt setup for that. We could run an extended style bolt for this to prevent from having to dig mud and dirt out of it.
Napoleon, I believe that this was the best way to integrate stiffening the steering stops, gaurding the diff. and making it one less worry of hitting rocks head on against the housing. We are also working on a truss at this very moment for the top that is a little different then whats on the market now. I think alot of people will like. I will get pictures of the proto as soon as it is finished.
