JL/JT Apex Front Axle Truss - A new era has begun with the arrival of the Apex truss! Artec Industries is proud to announce the next generation of patent pending axle trusses. This series of trusses not only builds on our experience as the world leader in axle truss design, it brings it to 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 version with long weld seams which can be lead 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 axle, an industry first in an OEM axle application.

The JL Apex Front Axle Truss is based off of a JK Apex Truss that was secretly tested for over a year proving that even though the truss is lighter weight, the peaked structure of the truss holds up to both extreme applications and daily driving.

The new JL Apex Front Axle Truss is the epitome of low cost, easy and quick to weld, simple, strong, and complete solutions for making your factory Jeep axle take more abuse than originally intended. You want easy insurance for your axle? The JL Apex Truss provides it.

JL/JT Front LCA Skids - These heavy duty skids are designed to take serious abuse and reinforce your JL front axle lower control arm brackets. The 1/4 inch thick precision cut and formed components of this setup mean they'll install easily and protect your brackets and lower control arms.

JL/JT Inner C Gussets - These heavy duty inner C gussets are designed to take serious abuse and reinforce your front Dana 30 or 44 JL or JT Inner C's. The 3/16 inch thick precision cut and formed components precisely contour and wrap around your inner c and add rigidity.

JL Shield (Optional) - The new Jeep JL front axle now includes a new Center Axle Disconnect (CAD or Front Axle Disconnect FAD) system for improved fuel efficiency. This new inclusion on the axle features a very thin sheetmetal skid plate from the factory which is prone to bending and denting, not to mention being a rock magnet itself. Artec Industries is the first company to address this vulnerable part.

Our new JL shield is constructed from heavy duty 1/4 inch thick steel...twice the thickness of the OEM skid plate.

The new design also uses countersunk flat head bolts for improved smoothness on the bottom...meaning you'll have less edges to catch on rocks. To improve the smoothness, we've eliminated unnecessary edges and extended the leading edge to the front of the axle and included an angled flange to protect the axle and allow rocks to glide under.

The JL shield is fully welded and hard powdercoated for direct bolt-on installation and a long life.

Ultimate Dana 60 Rear APEX Short Truss, Stronger Design, Lighter Weight, Easier Install. A new era has begun with the arrival of the APEX Truss! Artec Industries is proud to announce the next generation of Patent Pending axle trusses

This series of trusses not only builds on our experience as the world leader in axle truss design, it brings it to 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 version with long weld seams which can be lead to extra weld warping of the axle, longer install times and can be inconsistent. Without long seams to weld, now you drop the truss directly on to the axle and weld it to the axle faster.

This Truss is the heart of the APEX 1 ton swap kits for JK, JL, and JT and allows not improves rigidity and strength to the axle around the differential, it allows for mounting upper links over the differential if desired.

This truss fits Ultimate Dana 60 rear axles specifically with axle tubes 19.7 inch long and 18.9 inch long between castings and brake flange bracket. Overall length on this truss is 27.18 inches (+-.125 inch). May fit other Dana 60 rear axles with minor trimming but we have not verified.

Note: This truss is very form fitting to the contours of the casting. Due to variances in casting of this axle over the years, some trimming may be necessary on the truss and non-essential parts of the casting.

Features include:

• Patent Pending APEX peaked top design provides more rigidity than a flat top truss design
• CNC Precision Laser cut in-house from 3/16 inch mild steel for a lightweight yet strong solution...only 13 lbs
• 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 Dana and Jeep for not only an amazing fit but clearances with surrounding components

• 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 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 inches from the axle centerline.
• Truss is designed to fit in between Coil Springs or can be used as a base for mounting link suspension mounts.
• Two piece design means smaller packaging and less shipping costs along with easy installation
• Overall low profile design means your axle is stronger, sleeker, easier to fit into any vehicle, and less likely to interfere with vehicle components.
• If Using on JL Rear UD60, Some Trimming of the Truss may be necessary to fit the larger trackbar bracker.

Note: This kit 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.

Did you buy a winch ready OEM steel bumper only to discover you can't mount a winch? Artec Industries is excited to announce our new JL Steel Bumper Winch Plate which gives you a mounting location for your winch in an OEM Steel Bumper.

Our original winch plate was made from 3/16 Inch but we had a couple situations where it was flexing so we changed to 1/4 Inch thick steel and gusseted it a lot more to make it extremely rigid.

Look at the competition out there using only 3/16 Inch and you'll also notice areas of the winch plate without gussets and bends...these are weak points which have caused even Mopar to discontinue their original design.

Our Winch Plate is designed using State-of-the-Art 3D modeling with files directly from JEEP, WARN and SUPERWINCH for a precise fit requiring no modification of your jeep to fit most winches.

These brackets are hard powdercoated black for direct bolt-on installation and a long life. All this at a Phenomenal Price and manufactured in-house which means it's Made In The USA

Features:

• Compatible with most WARN winches including Zeon, most Smittybilt, and most Superwinches Except the EXP. No longer compatible with Superwinch EXP.
• Version 2.1 Adds WARN VR EVO Series Compatibility
• Thick 1/4 Inch steel winch plate engineered better than competitors for ultimate strength and less weight
• 16 gauge aluminum front cover featuring stamped Artec A-blade logos
• Allows you to easily preinstall winch on plate prior to installing bumper unlike competitors
• Designed using original OEM 3D files from JEEP, WARN, and SUPERWINCH for maximum compatibility and best fitment.
• CNC laser cut and CNC bent in-house for precise fit
• Includes hardware for mounting the front face plate
• Includes plates for offsetting the bumper forward for any winches that may require it. Not needed for most winches.
• Black Powdercoat for durability and direct bolt-in installation

Note: Serial 2217394 and down Warn Zeon winches have a 180 deg turning clutch lever which interferes with the bumper but serial 2217395 and up are shipping with a 90 deg version. Warn has a retrofit 90 degree clutch kit available for older models
Note: The Jeep JL has very tight tolerances in this area.

Note: While all precautions are made to ensure the powdercoated surface is protected, small scratches from the shipping process may be present upon arrival.

A new era has begun with the arrival of the APEX Truss! Artec Industries is proud to announce the next generation of Patent Pending axle trusses. This series of trusses not only builds on our experience as the world leader in axle truss design, it brings it to 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 version with long weld seams which can be lead to extra weld warping of the axle, longer install times and can be inconsistent. Without long seams to weld, now you drop the truss directly on to the axle and weld it to the axle faster.

We started the Jeep 1 ton Revolution and now we're taking it to the next level. The new APEX swap kit is designed to have a simpler, faster install, with less parts and weight and lower price. We've worked hard to improve everything, from making the truss easier to weld, to less warping from welding, to optimizing the shock bracket locations and lowering the upper control arm mounts for more clearance and better geometry.

The improvements made have been suggested by our network of dealer/installers who build these kits every day. Now they are a reality. The new 1 Ton APEX Front Swap Kit delivers in every way.

This heavy duty truss and bracket system is designed to take serious abuse and reinforce your entire axle while also providing the factory link, spring, anti-sway bar, and shock locations. The 3/16 inch thick truss incorporates a unique peaked design to strengthen both the axle and incorporate the link brackets for ease of installation and added strength.

By using the truss to align the link mounts, hours of work and trial and error can be avoided when compared to other bracket systems. Simply tack weld the truss on the axle, and all the other brackets fit into place exactly where they need to be.
Features include:

• JL 1 Ton APEX Front Kingpin/Balljoint 60 Swap 1985-1997
• With Daystar Bushings
• 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 inch and 3/16 inch mild steel for a lightweight yet strong solution...starting at only 30 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, Jeep and In-house 3D scanning for not only an amazing fit but 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
• 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
• OEM location Upper Control Arms mount to an ultra high clearance Differential Bridge that hugs the shape of the casting (bushing or Johnny Joint option)
• Truss extends under coil buckets all the way to inner C for end-to-end rigidity
• Multi-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
• 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.
• Heavy duty Trackbar bracket can slide to multiple positions for steering geometry fine tuning
• Shock brackets have been moved up and out (compared JK OEM position) for a slightly higher clearance for lower control arms and frame
• Overall low profile design means your axle is stronger, sleeker, easier to fit into any vehicle, and less likely to interfere with vehicle components

Important Notes:

• The Front 60 that works with this kit is from Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks from model years 1985-1991.5 (kingpin) and 1992-1997 (balljoint). This truss is not intended for newer axles due to different differential offsets, axle tube sizes and differential contours.
• Trimming of the factory differential casting may be necessary (see instructions). Other fabrication and modifications may be needed due to variances in lift kits and other factors. Removal of passenger side leaf spring perch is necessary.
• Due to the larger casting on the 60 differential, the Lower Control Arm (LCA) brackets are wider than factory location (41.5 inch Center to Center). Modifications to your Lower Control Arms will likely be necessary. If you have adjustable arms with flexible style joints (heims, Johnny Joints, etc), modifications may not be necessary. Upper Control Arm (UCA) brackets are also slightly higher than factory so adjustable arms may be necessary. The shock mounts are also slightly higher (1.25 inch) than stock to clear the lower control arms.
• This kit does not include any parts for ABS sensors. It is only a bracket kit. Hooking up and configuring these sensors is the responsibility of the end user.
• 60 axles Do Not Match the factory JK 5 lug wheel bolt pattern. New wheels will need to be purchased to do this swap. Brake and Steering components Not Included in this product, but will be available soon.
• This will likely require bumpstop extensions and a new trackbar since the steering is different on this axle from factory axle. The trackbar bracket is higher than stock location to allow proper steering geometry.
• Minor modifications to the ends of the truss that contact the inner C may be necssary for balljoint axles 1992-97.

A new era has begun with the arrival of the APEX Truss! Artec Industries is proud to announce the next generation of Patent Pending axle trusses. This series of trusses not only builds on our experience as the world leader in axle truss design, it brings it to 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 version with long weld seams which can be lead to extra weld warping of the axle, longer install times and can be inconsistent. Without long seams to weld, now you drop the truss directly on to the axle and weld it to the axle faster.

We started the Jeep 1 ton Revolution and now we're taking it to the next level. The new APEX swap kit is designed to have a simpler, faster install, with less parts and weight and lower price. We've worked hard to improve everything, from making the truss easier to weld, to less warping from welding, to optimizing the shock bracket locations and lowering the upper control arm mounts for more clearance and better geometry.

The improvements made have been suggested by our network of dealer/installers who build these kits every day. Now they are a reality. The new 1 Ton APEX Front Swap Kit delivers in every way.

This heavy duty truss and bracket system is designed to take serious abuse and reinforce your entire axle while also providing the factory link, spring, anti-sway bar, and shock locations. The 3/16 inch thick truss incorporates a unique peaked design to strengthen both the axle and incorporate the link brackets for ease of installation and added strength.

By using the truss to align the link mounts, hours of work and trial and error can be avoided when compared to other bracket systems. Simply tack weld the truss on the axle, and all the other brackets fit into place exactly where they need to be.
Features include:

• JL 1 Ton APEX Front Kingpin/Balljoint 60 Swap 1985-1997
• With Currie Johnny Joints
• 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 inch and 3/16 inch mild steel for a lightweight yet strong solution...starting at only 30 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, Jeep and In-house 3D scanning for not only an amazing fit but 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
• 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
• OEM location Upper Control Arms mount to an ultra high clearance Differential Bridge that hugs the shape of the casting (bushing or Johnny Joint option)
• Truss extends under coil buckets all the way to inner C for end-to-end rigidity
• Multi-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
• 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.
• Heavy duty Trackbar bracket can slide to multiple positions for steering geometry fine tuning
• Shock brackets have been moved up and out (compared JK OEM position) for a slightly higher clearance for lower control arms and frame
• Overall low profile design means your axle is stronger, sleeker, easier to fit into any vehicle, and less likely to interfere with vehicle components

Important Notes:

• The Front 60 that works with this kit is from Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks from model years 1985-1991.5 (kingpin) and 1992-1997 (balljoint). This truss is not intended for newer axles due to different differential offsets, axle tube sizes and differential contours.
• Trimming of the factory differential casting may be necessary (see instructions). Other fabrication and modifications may be needed due to variances in lift kits and other factors. Removal of passenger side leaf spring perch is necessary.
• Due to the larger casting on the 60 differential, the Lower Control Arm (LCA) brackets are wider than factory location (41.5 inch Center to Center). Modifications to your Lower Control Arms will likely be necessary. If you have adjustable arms with flexible style joints (heims, Johnny Joints, etc), modifications may not be necessary. Upper Control Arm (UCA) brackets are also slightly higher than factory so adjustable arms may be necessary.
