The ARB Air Locker for Dana 30 (27‑Spline, 3.54 & Down) is the world’s premier selectable traction aid, engineered to deliver maximum grip and total control in any terrain. With the flick of a switch, the Air Locker instantly locks both axle shafts together, eliminating differential slip and ensuring both wheels receive equal torque for unbeatable traction.

Using a pneumatically actuated locking mechanism inside the differential, the Air Locker prevents internal gears from rotating independently. This means both wheels turn in unison with the ring gear, allowing your vehicle to maintain forward momentum even in deep mud, loose rock, or uneven terrain. When disengaged, it operates just like a standard open differential—providing smooth, predictable on‑road handling.

Built with ARB’s legendary strength and reliability, the Air Locker features a steel‑reinforced annular seal, minimal moving parts, and a patented timed locking mechanism for fast engagement and disengagement. Whether crawling technical trails or navigating harsh environments, the Air Locker allows slower, safer, and more controlled driving while reducing vehicle damage and environmental impact.
