Signature Series Front Housing

Since 2005, Spider 9 axles have been the builder axle of choice among top rock crawlers and rock racers alike. While still the ultimate builders' axle, we are excited to now offer the Spider 9 Signature Series Front Housing. From knuckles to armor, take any guesswork out of building your Spider 9 axle by having our professionals do the heavy lifting. We'll take care of not only welding on your inner knuckles, but we're including full armor services as well such as gussets and skid plates.

To order, pick your housing, knuckles, gussets, and caliper mounts. Then enter in your wheel mount surface (WMS), housing offset (Af), and Pinion & Caster Angles (in degrees). All Spider 9 Signature Series Front Housings come standard with tig welded 4130 heat-treated skid plates and include a non-welded small fill cap assembly (3-1/2" housings) or a large fill cap assembly (4" housings). Unit Bearings, brakes, and gears sold separately.

Please note, while there will be no change in price, we may require freight shipping for your Signature Series Housing. Please provide a shipping address on checkout that can accept freight shipments (commercial address w/ access to a forklift).
