Achieve 100 percent traction on demand with advanced engineering.
The ARB Differential Carrier Air Locker is designed for the Ford 8.8 Inch axle, featuring a robust locking differential that provides 100 percent traction on demand. This innovative product utilizes aerospace-grade alloy steel for its structural components, ensuring exceptional strength and durability. The patented design incorporates forged gears and a two-piece construction that minimizes moving parts, enhancing reliability and performance under extreme conditions.
Extensive testing, including Computerized Finite Element Analysis (FEA), guarantees that the Air Locker can withstand rigorous off-road driving stresses. Prototypes undergo field testing in harsh environments to ensure that their strength exceeds that of the axles and driveline components. This meticulous design process results in a product that not only improves traction but also reduces reliance on momentum, thereby minimizing potential vehicle damage and environmental impact.
