Product Description
Artec 1 Ton APEX Rear Sterling Truss Swap Kit (Gladiator JT 2020+)
Kit Includes:
- One (1) rear APEX truss kit
-
PATENT PENDING APEX Truss peaked top design provides more rigidity than a flat top truss design
-
CNC Precision Laser cut in-house from 1/4" and 3/16" mild steel for a lightweight yet strong solution...only 55 lbs total
-
CNC Precision Bent in-house for a great fitment. Literally drop the truss in place on the axle and it's ready to weld. No puzzle piece assembling*
-
Designed used 3D models directly from Ford and Jeep for not only an amazing fit but clearances with surrounding components
-
70% less welding needed than previous truss designs means less warping, faster turnaround, and lower costs
-
All long seams are bent so you don't need to spend time welding them together
-
Dimpled holes provide not only weight reduction but rigidity and strength
-
Contours both the cast steel differential and can be welded with normal MIG welder and moderate pre-heating and post-heating
-
Two piece truss design means smaller packaging and less shipping costs along with easy installation
-
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
-
Tracbar 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 center link mount (not included)
Notes:
** This kit does not include any parts for ABS sensors. It is a bracket kit only. Hooking up and configuring these sensors is the responsibility of the end user.
*** Most 1 Ton axles do NOT match the factory JT 5 lug wheel bolt pattern. New wheels will need to be purchased to do this swap. Brake components NOT included in this product.
**** This kit requires general welding and fabrication skills. Welding should be done only by a competent welder. Some welding of cast and mild steel will be used. Artec Industries and Offroad Elements Inc. imply no guarantees or warranties and are not liable for improper installation.
***** Some grinding and fitment may be required when installing this kit. Every axle varies slightly and some fabrication may be required. Will require brake line relocation to fit.
