Tons baby. That’s what everyone wants under their off-road rig and we understand. After all, if you are going big tires for the rocks or mud or whatever then you need an axle housing that can live through the punishment and that can house a ring and pinion big enough to handle the torque you are going to throw at it and axles that are equally up to the task. In this video, Ian Johnson from Big Tire Garage is going to show you why a one ton axle might not be the only choice. This is how to build a Semi Float Dana 60 for your Jeep JK.

There has been a lot of discussion about what is the BEST axle upgrade for a Jeep JK, and I think if you are going to use your JK for “Mild Off Roading” then the Semi Float Dana 60 is THE BEST. You get all the strength of a Dana 60 Ring and Pinion, stronger axle shafts, a better housing, and still get to keep your factory brakes and factory wheel bolt pattern. This axle proves that you don’t have to ALWAYS go one tons.
