DANA STEER AXLES
Dana Spicer’s D-2000F and D-2200F steer axles are compatible with disc or drum brakes, offer a 5-inch drop option and come rated to 22,800 pounds. Their sturdier steering kingpin assemblies and patented seal and boot designs decrease contamination and increase lube retention, meaning less maintenance and longer life. The 5-inch drop allows a lower chassis, making the vehicle easier to enter and exit. The axles also come with a “power rib” that adds to the overall strength.
