These are our NEW Axle Trusses! They are made for both Heavier weight and Cruiserweight axles. Anything from a Toyota Mini on up. These are an evolved Truss, our previous trusses were plenty strong but with computer analysis we were able to determine this shape was stronger and also took up less space under the truck.

They are still a full Torsion Box construction with the "Shell" made from folded .25" sheet and the "Liner" made from .25 plate so there is no question as to the rigidity. They have always been made to be modified and that part has't changed because how the heck do I know the particulars of your build and how can I come out and say any one size is perfect for you?

These were considered after seeing another company try something like them but not boxed? The Torsion Box is where all the strength and rigidity comes from...I am thinking they did it that way because it was a less expensive option or they could not bend with precision...?

The medium will go over an 8.8 although all of our trusses are made to be modified...

These are all made to be modified and cut to a 3.1" radius so they will fit your 9" after you shave it.

If you sent it this weekend I will be looking at all the weekends PM's in a few minutes.

Thanks for the orders! And yes, these are simular to one made by a competitor but ours are completely boxed for strength, we took the extra step to make them much stronger :)

Sorry guys, too many posts to answer...

On the Medium truss the upper inside width is 11", 12" on the large. On the Medium, the lower inside width is 17.5", 21.25" on the large. On the medium the inside height is 6.25" and 7.5" on the large.

Keep in mind that all these measurements are made from the tube surface, thanks

These trusses are really a big seller, the low profile with the torsion box construction makes the choice for you!

I keep seeing the changes going on and it still amazes me. Now the other guys truss has changed to look just like ours ;) Torsion box is the only way to go! I think this means he agrees that ours was a better design if he cahnged his to match ours!
