Description
The ARB Air Locker Differential for Ford 8.8", 28 Spline - arbRD82 is the ultimate traction solution for off-road and challenging conditions. With the simple flick of a switch, the Air Locker instantly locks the differential, providing maximum traction at any speed and enabling you to conquer the toughest terrain safely and effectively.
The pneumatically operated Air Locker prevents the internal differential gears from rotating independently when engaged, ensuring both axle shafts turn together to deliver full power to both wheels. When disengaged, it functions like a conventional open differential, allowing smooth on-road driving without additional wear on the driveline.
Engineered for strength and reliability, the Air Locker features a two-piece, ultra-durable steel design with minimal moving parts for consistent performance. It includes a patented timed locking mechanism for rapid unlocking and a steel-reinforced elastomer bonded annular seal to withstand extreme climates. The kit includes the differential, activation switch, solenoid valve, air line, and bulkhead fitting. (Air compressor required – sold separately.)
