Differential Housings
Differential housings are the structural castings that contain the entire rear axle assembly, including the ring and pinion gear set, carrier, and bearings. Upgrading to a stronger housing is common on high-horsepower builds and heavy-duty off-road rigs where factory cast iron is not sufficient to handle increased torque loads or custom axle shaft widths.Popular Differential Housing UpgradesFabricated steel differential housings are popular for drag racing and Pro-Street builds where a custom axle width is needed. Dana 60 swap housings with factory-width or wide-track dimensions are commonly used for Jeep and full-size truck off-road conversions. Center sections and third-member housings for Ford 9-inch applications support virtually unlimited gear ratio and locker combinations.What differential housing is best for my build?Application determines the best choice. A factory Dana 44 housing handles moderate street and trail use, while a Dana 60 or custom fabricated housing is better s...
