MLT-Width Rock Assault 9 Bolt-In Axle Housing for 2nd & 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma
MLT-Width Rock Assault 9 Bolt-In Axle Housing for 2nd & 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma
If you’ve installed the All-Pro Modular Long Travel (MLT) Kit on your Tacoma, you know how strong your front end is now. What you need to finish your build is a rear axle that is tough as your MLT front end. We have solved that issue with the MLT-Width Rock Assault 9 Axle Housing for 2nd & 3rd Gen Tacoma trucks.
Using the same tough construction that is used in our builder Ford 9" axles, these axles come with all the brake line & sensor wire mounts to make this an easy bolt-on installation. These housings are compatible with Ford 9" differentials, which are stronger than stock Toyota differentials and have a large range of aftermarket support.
We have made these available in your choice of 1/4" or 3/8" thick wall 3.5" or 4" OD axle tubes. You can also choose spring perches & shock mounts to make this a true bolt-on installation or choose the no spring perch & shock mounts option if you want to weld in your own link & shock brackets.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Pinion is offset 2-1/4" to the right-hand (passenger) side to allow extra clearance between the rear driveline & the gas tank. This also allows the use of the same length axle shaft on either side.
You will need Dana 60/Ford 9" unit hubs, 35-spline Ford 9" axles, a Dana 60 Drive Flange kit, & a rear disc brake kit to complete your build (see Related Items below).
