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 6 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 both the cast steel differential and FAD (front axle disconnect) and can be welded with normal MIG welder and moderate pre-heating and post-heating * Provides worry-free wheeling of up to 40 in. tires on stock JL axles * Bridges the front axle disconnect (FAD/CAD), shown to be one of the weakest sections of the front axle * Low-profile design doesn't go over differential and allows usage in vehicles with only slight lift * Front LCA skids and optional JL Shield are made from 1/4 in. steel * Inner C-gussets are made from 3/16 in. steel Show Less
