Notes:
** The 14 Bolt axle is available in a variety of vehicles over several decades. In order for the JK swap to work with factory UCA brackets, the correct width axle must be used. If you are not using factory UCA brackets, but rather. 3-link style system mounted on the truss, you can choose any width axle you need but take care to ensure its width is close to the front axle. Older 14 bolt axles will not work with ABS brackets Artec offers.
*** This kit does not include any parts for ABS sensors. It is only a bracket kit. Hooking up and configuring these sensros is the responsibility of the end user. Artec and Offroad Elements Inc. offer ABS brackets and tone rings for 14 bolt and Sterling
