The Ford 9-inch is one of our favorite axles here at 4Wheel Drive. At the same time, we know that there are rigs for which a 9-inch isn't quite strong enough. How do you combine the modular design, easy-to-modify housing, and light weight of the 9-inch with additional strength? Torq Axle sent a press release our way today, and the Torq Axle Super-14 looks like it's the perfect solution for 9-inch fans who need more beef.
Check out the Torq press release below:
Torq Axle is proud to announce the availability of the Super-14. The Super-14 is a revolutionary drop-out third member design that utilizes a standard 14 Bolt carrier and gears. This axle design is superior to the Ford 9 Inch as the Super-14 uses a true 10.5 inch ring gear coupled with a 1.75 inch 3-bearing pinion shaft. The Super-14 is purpose built for racing applications. The Super-14 has been designed to accommodate optional features such as 4 inch carrier bearings, twin load bearing bolts, pocket bearing retainer plate, and bridged bearing caps for maximum strength and durability. As a solid platform the Super-14 is sure to raise the bar in performance axle technology. Torq has made a considerable investment into building a strong inventory of product to meet customer demand. The Super-14 is available for sale as of October 1, 2011.
