JK Rear LCA Brackets with Skids. Do you have bent and mangled factory lower control arm brackets? Its no surprise since they are practically made of sheet-metal. These Heavy Duty brackets replace the factory brackets so you'll never have to worry about ripping off a bracket again. But what makes ours better? Instead of making an exact copy of the factory bracket, we added some features to actually Improve the functionality. Check out the features below that sets ours apart from the competition. This pair of brackets contains an integrated skid plate on the bottom of the bracket, which wraps around joint protecting it from direct impact and decreases premature wear on the joint. This leads to longer life and less replacements. Skid plate design does not restrict movement of joint. Bracket wraps around axle tube more than factory For additional weld surface area, which significantly reduces the chance the bracket can rip off. Features:

JK 1 Ton Front 60 Swap Kit. ll the brackets necessary For the front 60 (Ford 85-97) axle swap into a Jeep JK Wrangler (07-17) Artec Industries is excited to announce the JK ONE Ton Axle Swap Kit For front 60 axles. 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 1/4 inch thick truss incorporates a unique design to strengthen both the axle and incorporate the link brackets For ease of installation and added strength. By incorporating the link mounts into the truss, hours of work and trial and error can be avoided when compared to other bracket systems. Simply tack weld the truss together, place it on the axle and all the other brackets fit into place exactly where they need to be. The Front 60 that works with this Kit is from Ford 3/4 and 1 Ton trucks from model years 85-91.5 (Kingpin) and 92-97 (Balljoint). This truss is not intended For older axles due to different differential offsets or newer Superduty axles (kit currently Inch R and D). The easiest way to identify if the axle will work with this Kit is if the axle has 3.0 inch of driver side axle tube and 24.5 inch of passenger side axle tube. Please ensure it is a 60 because these model years also had 44 available. Due to the larger casting on the 60 differential, the Lower Control Arm (LCA) brackets are wider than factory location. 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. 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 Inch this product, but will be available soon. This will likely require bumpstop extensions and a new tracbar since the steering is different on this axle from factory axle. The tracbar bracket is higher than stock location to allow proper steering geometry. A Kingpin axle is recommended For this purpose since high steer arms can be used. Features:
Sold as Each
UCA Mount Style: Daystar Bushings Inch Factory location
Single Adjustable Truss Upper Link Mount For use with heims (2.63 inch mounting width) Inch a 3-link Style suspension
1/4 inch thick mild steel truss and brackets For much higher strength than the factory bracket and other aftermarket brackets. Precision CNC cut and bent For great fitment.
Includes all the brackets necessary For a complete axle swap including upper and lower control arm mounts, shock mounts, anti-sway bar mounts, tracbar mount, and coil spring mounts.
Save hours of installation time. Brackets are jigged into truss and set exact position automatically. All other brackets just need to line up to truss, no guessing and measuring involved.
Easily upgradeable For future link geometry changes. Just trim off factory location upper control mounts and weld on a new centered link mount.
Truss is reinforced using interlocked 1/4 thick gussets For maximum strength and easy assembly.
Overall low profile design means your axle is stronger, sleaker, easier to fit into any vehicle, and less likely to interfere with vehicle components.
This Kit requires general welding and fabrication skills. Welding should only be done by a competent welder who understand different materials.
Some welding of cast and mild steel will be used.
Artec Industries implies no guarantees or warranties and is not liable For improper installation.
Some grinding and fitment may be required when installing this Kit. Every axle varies slightly and some fabrication may be required.
Will require brake line relocation to fit.
In rare and extreme cases, the truss may come into contact with oil pan.
Prior to operating the vehicle, remove the coil springs, cycle the suspension including full compression of both sides simultaneously and add bumpstop extensions to prevent damage to oil pan.

UD60 Front APEX Truss Make Your Front Axle More Rigid and prevent tube spin. 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 versions with long weld seams can lead to extra weld warping of the axle, longer install times and can be inconsistent.
The APEX Truss also helps to prevent axle tubes from spinning in the differential which is a known issue on the UD60.
The new UD60 Front APEX Truss is the epitome of low cost, easy and quick to weld, simple, strong, and complete solutions for making your upgraded axle even stronger. You want easy insurance for your axle? The JK APEX Truss provides it.
Features include:
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 3/16 inch 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 used 3D models directly from Dana Corp and Jeep 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 to the cast steel differential and can be welded with normal MIG welder and moderate pre-heating and post-heating
Prevents axle tube spinning in the differential...a known issue on the UD60
Truss strengthens the weakest sections of the axle...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
Note: Dana Spicer offers different variations of this axle housings. Please refer to the following diagram for details on which version to choose. If you have one model of a vehicle but have swapped in axles from another model, choose the model that the axles were originally built for. The main difference is the trackbar bracket. Refer to the images to show the difference.
TR6063 - Use on JK front UD60 axle TR6064 - Use on JL/JT front UD60 axle Some grinding and fitment may be required when installing this kit. Every axle varies slightly and some fabrication may be required. In rare and extreme cases, the truss may come into contact with oil pan. Prior to operating the vehicle, remove the coil springs, cycle the suspension including full compression of both sides simultaneously and add bumpstop extensions to prevent damage to oil pan.

JK 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 versions with long weld seams 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.

Notes:
Some grinding and fitment may be required when installing this kit. Every axle varies slightly and some fabrication may be required.
Stock axles have other components that may not hold up to the abuse of larger tires. Artec implies no guarantees that you will not break some component on your stock axles using larger tires. Use at you own risk.
In rare and extreme cases, the truss may come into contact with oil pan. Prior to operating the vehicle, remove the coil springs, cycle the suspension including full compression of both sides simultaneously and add bumpstop extensions to prevent damage to oil pan.
This kit is intended for vehicles with at least minor lifts (2.0 Inch and up recommended) and at least 1/2 inch bump stop extensions. Check clearances before installing. Not tested in non-US JKs or right hand drive axles.

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.

Important Notes:
The Spidertrax 9 inch axle comes with equal length axle tube and will require cutting the tubes to make the correct offset for a front axle. Different WMS widths are possible with this kit so measurements are not provided. Measuring and cutting the axle is the responsibility of the end user and Artec Industries is not responsible
for incorrect cutting. Please mock up swap kit components and inner c's prior to making any cuts.
Axle housing and inner c's not included in this swap kit.
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.
1 ton 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.

Contours the Spidertrax differential for a precise fit and ultimate rigidity
OEM location Upper Control Arms mount to truss (bushing or Johnny Joint option)
UCA brackets install Tool included for easy and precise assembly
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 out (compared JK OEM position) for a higher clearance when using larger shocks
Lower Control Arm brackets located in the OEM position for a true bolt-in application
Overall low profile design means your axle is stronger, sleeker, easier to fit into any vehicle, and less likely to interfere with vehicle components.
UCA Mount Style: Adjustable Truss Upper Link Mount
Sold As: Kit
Important Notes:
The Spidertrax 9 inch axle comes with equal length axle tube and will require cutting the tubes to make the correct offset for a front axle. Different WMS widths are possible with this kit so measurements are not provided. Measuring and cutting the axle is the responsibility of the end user and Artec Industries is not responsible
for incorrect cutting. Please mock up swap kit components and inner c's prior to making any cuts.
Axle housing and inner c's not included in this swap kit.
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.
1 ton 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.
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 strengthens the area between the coil perches and over the differential forming a solid structure where its typically most weak.
The new JK APEX Rear 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.
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...less than 10 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 Corp and Jeep 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
APEX design stretches between OEM coil buckets for reinforcement where the axle is most weak
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
Provides worry-free wheeling of up to 40 inch tires on stock JK axles
Clearance cuts for e-locker plug removal and axle breather hose
Low Profile Design is tight to the differential and allows usage in vehicles with only slight lift
Notes:
Some grinding and fitment may be required when installing this kit. Every axle varies slightly and some fabrication may be required.
This kit is intended for vehicles with at least minor lifts (1.5 inch and up recommended) and at least 1/2 inch bump stop extensions. Check clearances before installing. Not tested in Non-US JLs or right hand drive axles.
This kit requires general welding and fabrication skills including welding to the cast center section. Welding should only be done by a competent welder. Artec Industries implies no guarantees or warranties and is not liable for improper installation.
Take your JK up a level or 3. Premium Front Axle Aluminum 3-link Kit for your JK. For the past 5 years, we've been testing 7075 Aluminum links in the ARTECON to ensure that they could handle the abuse of both extreme, heavy duty rock crawling and normal daily driving. We've been pleased with how they've handled the rigorous abuse and how much weight is saved by using is compared to standard steel tubing.
The JK Front Aluminum 3-Link Kit starts with our ARTEC abuse proven 2.25 inch Outer Diameter, Aerospace grade 7075 Aluminum Lower Links and 2.0 inch Aluminum Upper Links. These are mated with time-tested Rock Krawler brand Krawler Joints with a 1.25 inch thread and 9/16 inch hole and matching jam nuts.
These are the same joints shipped in nearly every Rock Krawler lift kit so you know they stand up to the test of time and abuse...not to mention there are millions of them on the streets. Each link is threaded with both a Right Hand thread and a Left Hand thread at opposite ends so it is easy to adjust the length for fine tuning. We've also included wrench flats on each end of the aluminum link so you can easily tighten your jam nuts without marring the aluminum.
If you already have the steel version of this kit, this is a direct replacement for those links however the rod ends for the steel kit cannot be used with the aluminum lengths because they will not be the correct length.
From there, you can add on additional components to attach the links to the vehicle if you haven't already purchased them previously. To do the full 3-link conversion you will need the HD Crossmember with integrated Link Mounts, the 3-Link Frame Mount Bracket, and the Adjustable Truss Upper Link Mount that attaches to a flat top truss.
This bracket replaces and attaches where the OEM passenger side axle UCA bracket used to be. These components are all offered separately as an add-on item since many have either already purchased some of these items, or some of these brackets are included in other kits such as our JK 1 ton swap kits. If you need everything, just click the check boxes next to the appropriate accessories
If you are using one of our JK 1 Ton Swap Kits, this system works the same you just won't need the Adjustable Truss Upper Link Mount To complete a full swap, simply add Springs/Shocks or Coilovers, and extended brake lines and you are dialed in! Included in the kit:
3 - RH, 3 - LH - 1.25 inch -12 tpi x 9/16 inch hole Rock Krawler Joints
3 - RH, 3 - LH - 1.25 inch -12 tpi Jam Nuts
2 - MASSIVE 2.25 inch OD 7075-T6 Aluminum Lower Links
1 - 2.0 inch OD 7075-T6 Aluminum Upper Link
