Dana 28 Axle Parts

The Dana 28 front axle, an Independent Front Suspension (IFS) design from Dana Spicer, was primarily used in Ford vehicles like the 1984-1997 Ranger and Bronco II (often with ratios around 3.45, 3.73, or 3.55), featuring a smaller 7.5-inch ring gear diameter, 28-spline pinion, and lightweight construction suited for lighter-duty 4x4 applications—though it occasionally appears in Jeep swaps or custom builds due to its compact size and availability. Known for its coil-spring IFS setup, open-knuckle design, and relative ease of service compared to solid axles, the Dana 28 is less common in stock Jeep CJ models but gains interest among builders seeking lightweight front ends or specific IFS conversions—upgrades focus on stronger bearings/seals for longevity, aftermarket axle shafts to handle added torque or larger tires, regearing for better crawl or highway balance (limited ratio options available), or traction devices for improved grip without major structural changes. Browse a wide variety of high-quality Dana 28 axle components, including precision bearings, heavy-duty shafts, ring and pinion gear sets in available ratios, traction devices like lockers, and installation kits, to help you rebuild, reinforce, or customize your Dana 28-equipped vehicle for reliable on-road manners and off-road capability.
