These are genuine 2.5-Ton Rockwell axle assemblies, removed from decommissioned Canadian and U.S. military trucks. Unlike refurbished units, these are true military surplus takeouts, sold exactly as they come off the vehicle. They are ideal for off-road builds, mud trucks, monster trucks, military vehicle restorations, rock crawlers, and heavy fabrication projects where strength and durability matter.

Rockwell axles are legendary for their massive gear strength, high torque capacity, oversized axle shafts, and battlefield-proven reliability. If you want the strongest axle platform available for extreme off-road use, this is it.

Surplus Condition Information

These axles are unrefurbished military takeouts.
This means:

Paint may be worn or mismatched
Grease, dirt, or surface rust may be present
Seals, bearings, or brakes may need servicing depending on your project
These axles were pulled from functioning military vehicles but have not been rebuilt

This is the best option for builders who want maximum strength at the best price, and who plan to refresh or customize the axle anyway.
