The ARB Dana 70 & Dana 80 Low Speed Air Locker is designed for extreme off-road, towing, and heavy-duty applications, and allows instant engagement at the flip of a switch, giving you complete control in challenging terrain.

Using a pneumatically actuated locking mechanism, the Air Locker completely locks the differential when engaged, preventing axle shafts from turning independently and ensuring maximum traction. When disengaged, it functions like a standard open differential which allows safer handling and reduced driveline wear.

Includes:

  • ARB Dana 70/80 Air Locker differential
  • Dash activation switch
  • Solenoid valve
  • Air line
  • Bulkhead fitting
  • Air compressor required for operation (sold separately).

Tech Insight

Unlike automatic lockers, the ARB Air Locker only locks when commanded, allowing drivers to maintain steering control, reduce driveline stress, and avoid unnecessary wear. The patented timed locking system delivers rapid engagement and smooth disengagement, while the steel reinforced annular seal ensures reliable operation across extreme temperatures and conditions.

This makes the ARB Air Locker ideal for heavy duty off-road rigs, tow vehicles, rock crawlers, and expedition builds where control and durability matter.
