Differential Dropouts

For easier gear swaps and quick differential upgrades, nothing beats a dropout center section. Commonly called a third member or pig, a differential dropout houses the ring gear, pinion, carrier, bearings, and often the differential itself in a removable carrier that bolts into the axle housing. Rather than setting up gears inside the vehicle, you can build a dropout on the bench—saving time and ensuring precise setup.

Our differential dropout collection includes complete assemblies set up with your choice of gear ratio and differential type (open, limited-slip, or locking), as well as bare housings for custom builds. Whether you're changing your final drive ratio, adding a traction device, or replacing a worn-out unit, a pre-assembled dropout gets you back on the road or trail fast.

  • Removable center section simplifies ring and pinion setup
  • Available in common aftermarket axle patterns (Ford 9", Toyota 8", etc.)
  • Complete assemblies include carrier, gears, bearings, and yoke
  • Bare housings ideal for custom or race applications
  • Choose your gear ratio, differential, and case material
