Artec Industries patent pending 14-bolt rear Apex short axle trusses feature a stronger design, lighter weight and are much easier to install. The key feature that sets them apart from the other brands is their unique peaked-shape top which provides extra rigidity to the whole truss, while allowing both a reduction in weight (vs. using a thicker material top) and eliminating long weld seams. Previous truss versions with long weld seams can lead to extra weld warping of the axle, longer install times and can be inconsistent. Without long seams to weld, the 14-bolt rear Apex short axle trusses can be dropped directly on to the axle, and then these trusses can be welded to the axle faster. Additional part features: * Designed using 3-D models directly from Ford and Jeep for an amazing fit and clearance with surrounding components * CNC precision-cut in-house from 3/16 in. mild steel for a lightweight yet strong solution * Patent pending Apex peaked top design provides more rigidity than a flat top truss design * CNC precision bent in-house for a great fitment * Installation is simple; literally drop the truss in place on the axle and it's ready to weld, no puzzle piece assembling * 70 percent less welding needed than previous truss designs mean 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 * Truss is low-profile allowing link joints to be mounted with ideal geometry—about 9 in. from the axle centerline * Truss is designed to fit in between leaf springs or can be used as a base for mounting link suspension mounts * 2-piece design means smaller packaging and less shipping costs along with easy installation Important note: Requires general welding and fabrication skills. Welding should only be done by a competent welder. Artec Industries implies no guarantees or warranties and is not liable for improper installation. Some grinding and fitment may be required when installing this item. Every axle varies slightly, and some fabrication may be required.

Artec Industries JK APEX front axle trusses introduce a whole new level of cost savings, strength, weight savings, simplicity of installation, precision fitment, and complete axle protection never before seen in the industry. The key feature that sets the APEX truss apart is its unique peaked shape top which provides extra rigidity to the whole truss, while allowing both a reduction in weight (vs. using a thicker material top) and eliminating long weld seams. Previous versions with long weld seams have led to extra weld warping of the axle, longer install times, and can be inconsistent. This peaked structure not only applies to the axle tube between the coil perches, but extends underneath the coil perches as well—forming a complete truss from end to end of the axle, an industry first in an OEM axle application. The JK APEX truss has been tested and proved to hold up to both extreme applications and daily driving. Product details: * Patent pending APEX truss peaked top design provides more rigidity than a flat top truss design * Truss is CNC precision laser-cut in-house from 1/8 in. mild steel for a lightweight yet strong solution—only 7 lbs. * Truss is 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 using 3-D models directly from Dana Corp and Jeep for an amazing fit and clearances with surrounding components * 70 percent 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 * APEX design continues under the OEM coil buckets for complete end-to-end axle reinforcement—an industry first * Dimpled holes provide weight reduction, rigidity, and strength * Contours to the cast steel differential and can be welded with normal MIG welder and moderate pre-heating and post-heating * Provides worry-free wheeling of up to 37 in. tires on stock JK axles * Truss strengthens the weakest sections of the axle—under the coil perches, around the control arm brackets, and where the tube enters the casting * Low-profile design doesn't go over differential and allows usage in vehicles with only slight lift
