Artec Industries JK 1 TON - SUPERDUTY 05+ Front Dana 60 Swap Kit - w/ Currie Johnny Joints

When you are looking for a heavy duty truss and bracket system for your Jeep, then you need look no further than the Artec Industries 1 Ton Front Dana 60 Axle Swap Kit. This is one of the latest and greatest Artec Industry innovations that has been meticulously designed so that the truss system can take a great deal of abuse on- and off-road as well as keep your whole axle reinforced. Not only that, but this Swap Kit also provides you with an anti-sway bar, factory link, spring and shock locations.

This Front Dana 60 Axle Swap Kit has a 1/4 inch thick truss which utilizes a unique design which helps to strengthen the axle as well as incorporates the link brackets into the system. This design concept helps to not only add a great deal of strength but also makes the installation process as easy as possible. Incorporating the link mounts right into the truss, as Artec Industries did, will help to eliminate hours of hard work and frustration going through a trial and error process of trying to make the truss and the bracket systems work. All you need to do is tack weld the truss together and put it on the axle. The brackets will all fit into place where they should be.

The Artec Industries 1 Ton Front Dana 60 Axle Swap Kit include Currie Factory Location Johnny Joints and is made of 1/4 inch mild steel that has been precision CNC cut and bent. Your kit includes all of the installation brackets you will need for mounting all of the components. The system is also easy to upgrade if you make any changes to your link geometry.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Trimming of the factory differential casting will be necessary (see instructions). Other fabrication and modifications may be needed due to variances in lift kits and other factors.

Due to the larger casting on the 60 differential, the Lower Control Arm (LCA) brackets are wider than factory location (41.5" 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") than stock to clear the lower control arms.

NOTE: 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.
