Yukon Gear Rear 4340 Chrome-Moly Axle For Chrysler 10.5in/11.5in Rear 36.1in-40.1in Length 38 Spline

Yukon Gear & Axle is known for making strong drivetrain components, and this rear axle is a prime example. If you're working on a 2003-2010 Dodge Ram 2500 or 3500, or a 2011-2018 Ram 2500 or 3500, this axle is built to handle the demands of your truck. It's designed to fit Chrysler 10.5-inch and 11.5-inch rear differentials, and its cut-to-length design means it can be adjusted for applications ranging from 36.1 inches to 40.1 inches long, ensuring a proper fit for your specific setup.

This axle is constructed from high-strength 4340 chromoly steel, a material chosen for its excellent toughness and resistance to bending and breaking under heavy loads. Yukon uses superior production methods, including cold roll forming the splines. This process creates a stronger, more durable spline that's less prone to stripping compared to cut splines. They also employ advanced induction coil heat treating, a process that hardens the surface of the axle while maintaining flexibility in the core. This combination of materials and manufacturing techniques results in an axle that's built for long-lasting performance, even in demanding situations.

This particular axle is 40.1 inches long and features 38 splines, designed for trucks with 8-lug wheels. It's a full-float axle, meaning it's supported by the axle housing and the wheel hub, which takes the load off the axle shaft itself. This design is common in heavy-duty trucks and is crucial for carrying heavy payloads and towing. When installing, remember that this axle is cut-to-length, so you'll need to measure and cut it to the correct size for your differential. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for precise details.
