UCF Dana 44 Rear Truss System

Dana 44 rear truss for your link suspension.

Running a Dana 44 rear under a custom link suspension? This truss sets your upper links on a 4 1/2" x 10" platform tied to the axle tubes and diff cover, and it keeps your welds off the cast steel housing.

How it goes together

1. Weld the included tab to the included Dana 44 cover, then install the cover.
2. Set the truss body on the axle tubes.
3. Bolt the truss flange to the cover and weld the truss to the tubes.

Specs

• Link tab platform: 4 1/2" × 10"
• Platform to axle tube centerline: 6"
• Truss body: 1/2" carbon steel plate, heavy enough for any amount of horsepower
• Flange tying the truss to the cover: 3/8" steel plate, joined with 1/2" hardware

What's included: truss body, UCF Dana 44 heavy-duty diff cover with weld-on tab, diff cover hardware, and the 1/2" bolts and nuts that attach the truss to the cover.

Finish: ships as bare steel, so you can weld it on, place your link tabs and weld it all up.
