Artec Industries APEX Rear Axle Truss

ARTEC Industries APEX Rear Axle Truss Features

PATENT PENDING APEX peaked top design provides more rigidity than a flat top truss design

CNC Precision Laser cut in-house from 3/16" 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% 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**

Strong Axle Protection From ARTEC Give your factory axle a bit more strength with this truss from ARTEC. There are a lot of awesome features that this kit allows. However, 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 led 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. This JK APEX Rear Axle Truss is the epitome of low cost, easy and quick to weld, simple, strong, and complete solutions for helping your factory Jeep axle take more abuse than originally intended. You want easy insurance for your axle? The JL APEX Truss provides it.
