For hill climbing long wheelbase rigs with 46” tires and bigger or Mega Trucks running huge Rice and Canes Rockwell’s are the go to axle. Every year what we think of a “big tire” seems to be redefined by a new even bigger tire. It also seems that instead of having an unbelievable low crawl ratio the norm is getting to be high horsepower motors. With the combination of bigger tires and more power more and more people are finding the limits of one ton axles. This is where the 2.5 Ton Rockwell comes in.

2.5 Ton Rockwell Axles are a great choice but to get the most out of them you need suspension components that are uniquely designed for their unique layout. First to keep the center of gravity low and to have clearance for the top loader driveshaft the upper control arms need to be straight. Since the upper control arms are straight then to locate the axle laterally the lowers then need to have the triangulation so they are pre-bent to 20 degrees. We took this in to consideration with the design of all of our Rockwell brackets. The entire Barnes 4wd Rockwell Bracket line up is made entirely of 3/8” American Steel and to be used the suspension joints that have a 2 5/8” mounting width.

Rockwell 4 link kit with heims would be $699
If you would like the Rockwell brackets to have the built in Coil or shock brackets the price would be $720
Thanks

What is the offset from center of axle tube on the control arm bolt on this bracket?

Barnes 4wd · 12-12-2011, 05:46 AM

These brackets have 10" of vertical separation and the lowers are angled in 20 degrees
Thanks for your interest
Brad

MNorby · 12-12-2011, 07:10 AM

Those are just the lower control arm brackets with integrated shock tab, no upper mount. What I need is the distance the hole for the joint is from center of axle tube. Is it centered or offset up or down from center some?

MNorby,
Sorry about that. If you will PM me your email I will email you a PDF that should have the info that you need.
Thanks

MNorby · 12-12-2011, 11:59 AM

Thanks for the drawing. Looks like the joint hole is .22" higher than the center of the axle tube on those if my math is correct.

From the TOP of the axle tube to the center of the shock bolt would be 2"
Thanks
