14 Bolt Rear Axle Swap Kit

The Complete Kit to Strengthen and Upgrade Your 14 Bolt Rear Axle

If you're swapping a 14 Bolt axle into your rig, this all-in-one kit provides everything you need to beef it up and get it trail-ready. This isn't just a few brackets—this is a full-strength solution that includes our most trusted components to improve axle durability, control axle wrap, and upgrade your braking and protection.

We start with our laser-cut, CNC-bent 3/8" A50 steel leaf spring plates and our anti-wrap spring perches for 3.375" axle tubes. Add in a full set of U-bolts and hardware, heavy-duty shock brackets, and top it off with our legendary 14 Bolt Differential Cover and Pinion Guard for rock-solid trail protection. We also include a pair of 14 Bolt Disc Brake Brackets so you're ready to ditch the heavy drums for modern stopping power.

  • Part Number: R1020
  • Leaf Spring Plates: For 2.5" wide springs, made from 3/8" A50 plate steel
  • Spring Perches: Anti-wrap design for 3.375" axle tubes and 2.5" wide springs
  • Shock Brackets: Pair of 1.5" ID tabs for secure shock mounting
  • U-Bolts: 4 total – 10" x 5/8" x 3.375" with included hardware

Why Upgrade?
Whether you're building a trail rig, rock crawler, or overlanding beast, this kit is the reliable way to handle torque, control axle movement, and protect the vital components of your axle. The included disc brake brackets make it easy to ditch outdated drums for more responsive braking, while the pinion guard and diff cover add long-term durability and peace of mind on the rocks.

Kicks ass

So I run a machine shop and let me say this kit is awesome. Quality builds, significantly better than I expected in all honesty. I opened this box I ordered for myself like a kid on Christmas. 100% recommend if you're on the fence about it. Very strong and very thick components. I bought because the kit was on sale and then after shipping it wasn't pretty but I'm so glad I got it. I will b finitely be ordering more from ruff stuff to finish my 89 suburban build

Bullet Proof

This kit is absolutely complete and bullet proof. I was really surprised at how heavy duty it is. I had looked at a number of other kits and had pretty much decided on one until I found this one and glad I didn't get the other and then find this. It is for sure for the Hard Core! no wimpy stuff here...
