Locking Differential for Higher Gear Ratios

The ARB Air Locker Differential for the 1999-2022 Ford F250/F350 Dana 60HD axle is designed for drivers who need maximum traction and control in extreme off-road conditions. This Air Locker is built for vehicles running a 35-spline axle shaft and is specifically compatible with gear ratios of 4.56 and higher, making it ideal for trucks set up for off-roading or heavy towing. Higher gear ratios are often chosen by those who need more torque for climbing steep inclines or navigating challenging trails, and the RD166 is engineered to handle these demanding scenarios. With a simple flip of a switch, this differential instantly locks both wheels together, giving you 100% traction when you need it most. This feature makes it far superior to stock open differentials, which allow one wheel to spin uselessly when traction is lost.

Ultra-Durable Design

Another major benefit of the ARB Air Locker is its ultra-durable, two-piece design. This reduces the number of moving parts, enhancing the unit’s reliability and ensuring that it holds up under extreme stress. The patented timed locking mechanism provides not only high strength but also fast unlocking, allowing for instant transition between full lock and open differential, so you get back to regular on-road driving quickly and smoothly. Additionally, the elastomer-bonded annular seal is reinforced with steel, making it capable of handling the most extreme climates and conditions, whether you're driving through intense heat, freezing temperatures, or muddy, water-filled trails. Just like the RD167, this kit includes everything you need for installation, except the air compressor (sold separately), which powers the pneumatic system. ARB ensures that installation and operation is straightforward and reliable, allowing you to focus on driving and navigating the terrain ahead without worrying about your differential.
