Nitro 1541H steel and 4340 alloy & chromium and molybdenum alloy axles commonly known as "chromoly":
Our OE replacement axles are made of 1541H steel for a 25-35% increase in strength over their stock counterparts. Nitro 4340 chromoly axles are also heat treated but are designed with extra material for strength where it's needed. All of our axles are precision machined to OE specifications for excellent fitment.
Triple drilled axles flanges will accept 5 on 4.5", 5 on 5" (standard JK pattern) or 5 on 5.5" wheels. Studs are pressed into 5 on 5 pattern as shipped from Nitro.
The axles included in this bundle kit comes completely assembled. Studs pressed in, axle bearings, retainers, tone rings and seals pressed on ready to bolt into your factory housing. Most other brands do not supply the complete parts and do not pre-assemble them requiring either purchasing additional components or removing them from your old axles rendering them useless as spares or to sell used.

The advantage of the ARB Air Locker lies in the pneumatically operated locking system inside the differential. When activated, the Air Locker prevents the differential gears from rotating and therefore prevents the axle shafts from turning independently of each other. With both wheels tied directly to the rotation of the ring gear, the vehicle maintains maximum possible traction at all times. When unlocked, it operates just like a conventional 'open' differential.
