Artec Industries JK APEX Front Axle Ultimate Armor Kits

Artec Industries JK APEX front axle ultimate armor kits furnish everything you need to make your axle the strongest it can be. These packages include an APEX front axle truss, heavy-duty front LCA brackets, heavy-duty shock brackets, inner C-gussets, and APEX heavy-duty tracbar bracket. Armor kits are available for a variety of specific Jeep applications, in both stock and raised track bar height models. How is the ultimate armor kit better than the regular armor kit? This kit includes entire replacement LCA brackets and shock brackets, whereas the regular armor kit just adds a skid plate to the factory LCA brackets. 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 * Front LCA brackets, shock brackets, inner C-gussets, and HD tracbar brackets are made from 1/4 in. steel * Gussets and brackets strengthen or replace weak components of the axle that are prone to failure Show Less
