🧾 Overview

The ARB Air Locker for Dana 60HD (35 spline, 4.56 & up) is one of the most trusted traction upgrades in the off-road world, designed to deliver 100% locking capability on demand while retaining normal street manners when disengaged.

Using a pneumatically activated locking system, this differential allows you to switch from an open differential to a fully locked axle with the flip of a switch—providing maximum traction in mud, rocks, sand, or snow.

When unlocked, it operates like a factory differential for smooth daily driving. When engaged, it forces both axle shafts to rotate together, ensuring maximum power delivery to both wheels—a major advantage in extreme off-road situations.

✔ Selectable air-actuated locking differential
✔ Provides 100% traction when engaged
✔ Maintains normal drivability when disengaged
✔ Designed for heavy-duty Dana 60 applications
✔ Ideal for rock crawling, mud, and extreme terrain

🛠 Installation
  • Requires full differential disassembly and gear setup.
  • Air system plumbing and compressor installation required.
  • Professional installation strongly recommended.
