Ford 9" Axle Housing

Ford 9" Axle Housing

This USA fabricated Ford 9" housing is made in 1 length, 72" long, so you have plenty of room to make what ever style axle you want.

Our fabricated Ford 9" housing comes standard with 3/8" thick faceplate machined flat and drilled for third member hardware AFTER welding to ensure a perfectly flat mounting surface and exact hole location. The outer shell is made from 1/4" thick steel with 12 individual bends which is done this way to reinforce each other. We also weld an additional 3/16" armor on high impact areas of the center section. These axle housings allow the fitment of a 10" ring gear for ford 9" and have 1/4" thick internal gusseting to tie the whole thing together for maximum strength and durability.

EVERY component is welded to at least 3 other components. The axle tubes are 3.5"x 3/8" wall structural DOM which offer the perfect balance between strength, toughness, weight and ground clearance. You wont be denting these axle tubes! The tube keys into the face plate and has gusseting within the center section so it is completely supported on all sides.

We send our standard differential cover weld in fill plug/ drain plug however an over sized fill/inspection port can be substitued which includes a knurled finish plug for quick and tool-less removal. Our housings are all hand made in the USA by our team of highly skilled professional fabricators. No robots, no imports, no gimmicks.
