14 Bolt Axle Truss Trail Version

Motobilt 14 Bolt Axle Truss Trail Version is a heavy-duty truss for those wanting to mount suspension links to the top of the housing and eliminate the chance of spinning axle tubes in the center section. The 14 Bolt Axle has become a go-to axle for rock crawlers and rock bouncers. The 14 Bolt full floater is strong, easy to find in salvage years, cheap to get parts for, and a large amount of aftermarket parts are available.

The Motobilt 14 Bolt Axle Truss Trail Version was designed to be simple, easy to install, low cost, and allow room for mounting coil springs, coilover shocks, suspension link mounts, and more. This design is narrow to the axle center section for a reason. The trend over the past few years is to keep the overall ride height as low as possible thus creating clearance issues at full bump. With this narrow design, it will not hit the frame rails or our Motobilt Backhalf kits.

The main body of the 14 Bolt Axle Truss Trail Version is CNC Laser Cut from 1/2 inch thick high-strength steel plate. It is then formed using a hydraulic press brake. The pinion support and pinion guard are CNC laser cut from 3/8 inch steel plate. The Motobilt 14 Bolt pinion guard features an industry-first angled design to reduce the shovel that all of the others create on the front of the axle.
