Product Description
Artec 1 Ton APEX Rear Axle Swap Brackets (Gladiator JT 2020+)
Artec Industries is excited to announce the JT ONE TON APEX Rear Axle Swap Kit. This is an advanced bracket system which can be used on practically any axle with a 3.5" axle tube (or similar). This kit provides the factory link, trackbar, spring, anti-sway bar, bump stop pads and shock locations all encompassed in an axle tube reinforcing truss system. This kit is great for Superduty Sterling 10.5 or 10.25, AAM 10.5 14 bolt, or a Ford 9.0" (or 10.0) axle with 3.5" axle tubes. Other axles can be used as well, just make sure they are wide enough to fit the upper control arm brackets (see diagram below) and you have a plan for mounting the ABS sensors.
This kit DOES NOT INCLUDE a truss over the differential however we offer that in a separate kit or as an add-on in the menu options here.
Kit Includes:
- Axle swap brackets
- Axle swap brackets
- Using a 1 ton axle will support larger tires and less chance of breakage in extreme conditions
- Coil brackets and bump stop pads are combined to form an axle tube truss and allows for easy installment of other brackets
- Precision CNC cut from 1/4", 3/16" steel for high strength and precision and CNC bent for great fitment.*
- Includes all the brackets necessary for a complete axle swap including upper and lower control arm mounts, shock mounts, anti-sway bar mounts, trackbar mount, bumpstop pads and coil spring mounts.
- Save hours of installation time with the built-in axle tube truss which is quicker to weld than individual brackets
- Trackbar mount includes 3 locations for those who have aftermarket lifts. Stock height hole is not included though.
- Easily upgradeable for future link geometry changes. Just trim off factory location upper control mounts and weld on a truss and center link mount (not included)
- APEX truss can be added later for great rigidity, strength and link suspension changes
Notes:
** This kit is intended for use with a newer style 14 bolt axle with ribbing on the casing and has a WMS-WMS measurement of 68" or greater. The axle is referred to as an AAM 14 bolt 10.5" ring gear and is found in 99-06 GM 2500 and 3500 SRW trucks. Van axles have different differential offset and will not align with the truss correctly
*** The 14 bolt axle is available in a variety of vehicles over several decades. For the JT swap to work best, the correct width axle should be used. Take care to ensure its width is close to the front axle. Older 14 bolt axles will not work with ABS brackets we offer either.
