# DBL Design

> DBL Design is a Hurst, Texas manufacturer of severe-duty "super single" wheels, axles, gears, and complete drivetrain conversions for Ford, Chevy, and Dodge medium-duty trucks. Founded and owned by a 70% disabled wounded veteran, DBL turns the American farm truck into a world-class off-road and military-grade platform. DBL wheels and axles are NATO-approved and deployed in military, brush-truck, expedition, fleet, and civilian applications in 50+ countries, with 2,800+ trucks built.

DBL Design ("Design By Little", founded by Daniel Little) engineers and builds in-house with a full team of mechanics, fabricators, welders, and machinists.
