Crane Roller Axle Walkthrough
When you're ordering parts to start your build, sometimes it's a lot easier to just buy a roller axle housing instead of a fully built "ready to ride" axle.
With a roller axle, you get everything you need to do all of the fabrication work to your build and none of what you don't need. Our roller axle set ups come with a brand new housing that includes tubes, C's, and knuckles with high steer arms, in addition to all of the hardware, wheel hubs, and bearings.
Look into a roller axle for your next build, it may be just what you need.

These knuckles have the interlocking keyed box on top that allows for the high steer arm option, but also has a stock steering provision.

Why are you adding grease when pressing in the axles housings? Seems like that would make it a bitch to not contaminate the weld
Looks like the beginning of a new plow truck for Andrew Camarata
Can you do leaf spring perches on the front for a k5
you put these on a jeep and you are ready for armageddon!
Sweet!
Do i need to run a springless cap with the eliminator?
this looks so simple that i want and would have to confidence to put this together by myself.... except for one part, which would be the welding part... i have no idea have to weld correctly/ i get how to but i wouldn't be able to weld and know if it was good.
Could the aluminium unit bearing fit dynatrac dynalock 40 spline locking hub?
Crazy High $Prices$👎👎
Ur $ Prices are CRAZY HIGH 👎 !!
Are you using junkyard axle 14 bolt housing machined out for bigger tubes, or new casting?
NEW CASTING WITH 4IN TUBES .5 WALL
You should really put the link to your website in the description of all your videos! Love the axles!
Glad to see ya posting something ... how about some what's up in the shop... Nothing worse than not hearing from the dream team....
We agree! Hopefully by the end of the year we'll have regular shop updates going again!
Thanks Adam and Crane! Great video! No Drama, just solid fabricating that a reasonably competent person can duplicate! Wish more instructional videos were like this one!
Da da da dats all folks
Hello, does a worn bushing affect the camber alignment? I have a CUCV and the driver side tire is leaning in a little. Thanks.
Yep
Can you build one for the front of a F650? I think a chromoly shaft and truetrac unit would be great internals, but would need the outer hub setup for 10x285.75 bolt pattern with disc brakes. For residential contracting, it’d be plenty strong
reverse cut gears for the 14 bolt , or do I have to have them custom cut and drill a new oil galley
What kind of vehicle comes with Dana 80 from the factory ?
My steering is only hooked up to the passenger side knuckle on top. The front of knuckles connect both sides together. Could I use the solid bushing and be okay even though the steering is hooked up to one side? Or should I find a way to connect both knuckles from the top instead of the front? I wish I could send a picture on here lol
You shouldn’t have any issues just running high-steer (attached passenger side knuckle to the pitman arm). The solid bushing should be installed on both sides as it removes the weak kingpin spring.
Crane knuckles are still the best built knuckles on the market .
this for 04 ford f250?
Any way to adjust Caster angles on the D60?
if you were putting this under a ford pickup could you still use the abs sensor to retain the abs system?
I dont understand why axle manufactures are using ball joints instead of kingpins
Money
Because kingpins are always trouble, death wobble, spring center pins break, rides like shit, u joint junk. Honestly you get just as much time out of ball joint suspension under normal use as solid axles but much easier to fix. Only thing king pins have over ball joints is durability. Other than that they are no better.
I'm a professional on finding weak points on any axle and when I do you have to make it stronger
Lol go smash it into rocks till it breaks. Weak link found. That's the professional way!
BAD ASS 😎
That is so much stronger than the paper thin stock knuckle come a long from the 80s many of the kink pin drag link would tear off and DANA made shure no replaments were available had to weld them back together with extra tabs.
Will this work with a 1st gen Dodge Cummins with a Dana 60 or is this meant for a different application? Thanks
It’ll work. I’m considering doing this over bronze bushings for my first gen.
What type of ball joint you use?
🇺🇸👍
Do they come with or without a tone ring?
I'd imagine that nice, solid cover helps to mitigate the added stress from the removed section of the housing. Dana 80 or shaving at 14... 🤔 This would've been a nice video to break out a TIG torch! Then again, TIG welders always think everything is a nice time to burn!
This is going to be my last build... That said, I noticed a guy wanting portals on axles that were designed to be the last ones you ever needed. Seems counterintuitive to put a portal box on an able axle meant to crush rocks on a hopper/bouncer. Maybe on a highway set of gears in the 3-4's for lift too, but these axles are not what he's needing. Portals on a Dana 80 ring/pinion = transfer case delete and one more week link with a new breaking point?! 🤔🤣🤣
I’ve been looking at these how well do these hold up?
They hold up very well, they are very tough.
Crane Axle sweet my mistake I thought these were for a 99-04 f250 do y’all do those by chance? That’s what my axle is out of and I want to use it under my Chevrolet but I want the lug pattern to be the same all way around
@@ensordaniel6879 Sorry we only have them for 05+ currently
So when are you going to start producing portal axles?
Not sure - no plans yet but that could change.
@@CraneAxle cool. I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure through how it could be done with the portal box being permanently mounted to the axle and the inner-C and rear spindle attaching to the outside of the box. Throwing the F450 Unit Bearing on that axle (different video) was the ah-ha moment I needed. I doubt I’ll ever get a chance to build it, but I know what to work towards if I do.
@@lanceroark6386 Sounds like you got it figured out brother! If you ever get 'er built we'd like to see it :-)
No offset rear housings i see? Whats a landcruiser too do?
Sorry not yet
I've got 91dodge w250 4x4, under hood lists states 4000# front axel. Are they Dena 60s? How do I identify? Thanks in advance also informational videos, I'm learning so much, thank you. New subscriber!
Look a on the tube to find the bill of materials # then there are plenty of online resources to find exactly what axle you have
This might help. www.cumminsforum.com/threads/how-to-tell-what-front-axle-i-have.1295897/
Can you use this kit in conjunction with a steering arm lift block? I'm running factory push-pull style steering with a steering arm lift block from rough country, and I'm interested in this kit but I'm not sure it it will work in my situation or not
Yes, it will work. All you are doing is removing the spring and spring seat.
im the guy who wrecked the 69 likes
Can't steer my buggy , Me kawk is hung up in steering wheel . 🤣
That a baller axle right there.. Stronger then a 14 bolt, with similar build? Whats the cost on something like this
It depends on what options you choose and if you want a ready to ride or roller axle or a housing to build your own. You can check out our site for current prices: craneaxle.com/default/products/axle-assemblies.html
@@CraneAxle my problem is, ive been through 2× 14 bolts and this latest one the brake mounting ears are slightly bent and I'm tited of brakes dragging
@@gregleblond9367 The Dana 80 is really about as strong as it gets. It will cost more than a 14 bolt though. You could also re-work your 14 bolt if the brake mounting ears are the only issue.
Is it possible to have a front end built in a custom width?
Hi, have a question about your spring elimination kit. Can it be used in conjunction with a bronze bushing instead of the white plastic bushing ? Can it also be used in conjunction with Moog's lower adjustable king pin kit. This would be used in a 92 dodge club cab long bed cummins 4x4. Like eliminating the spring. Ron
i guess Im randomly asking but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Conor Ayaan Instablaster :)
@Cohen Tadeo thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Cohen Tadeo It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my ass !
@Conor Ayaan glad I could help :D
Sweet-I run a kingpin 60 on my dodge daily driver do you have upgraded brakes for that? Glad I found you guys for all my forced upgrades.
How about 47 spline shaft?
Subscribed , I'll order this week
How do you seal that rear inner bearing?
One strong axle, front or rear! Great condensed explanation!
What axles would you put in this?
Can you run this kit with bronze bushings?
Yes, but our spring eliminator bushing must be turned down. There is information about this in the instructions.
