Features & Product Details

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 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 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. 

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

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" thick precision cut and formed components precisely contour and wrap around your inner c and add rigidity.

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 1/8" mild steel for a lightweight yet strong solution...only 6 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% 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 not only weight reduction but rigidity and strength
  • Contours both the cast steel differential and FAD (front axle disconnect) and can be welded with normal MIG welder and moderate pre-heating and post-heating
  • Bridges the Front Axle Disconnect (FAD/CAD) which has shown to be one of the weakest sections of the front axle
  • Low Profile Design doesn't go over differential and allows usage in vehicles with only slight lift***
  • Front LCA Skids made from 1/4" steel
  • Inner C Gussets made from 3/16" steel
  • *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 your own risk.

    ***THIS KIT IS INTENDED FOR VEHICLES WITH AT LEAST MINOR LIFTS (1.5"+ RECOMMENDED) AND AT LEAST 1/2" BUMP STOP EXTENSIONS. CHECK CLEARANCES BEFORE INSTALLING. NOT TESTED IN NON-US JLs or RIGHT HAND DRIVE AXLES.**

    NOTE: This kit requires general welding and fabrication skills including welding to the cast center section and cast inner c's. 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 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.

    Artec Industries APEX Front Axle Armor Kit ( Part Number: JL4511)
    Super nice kit 9 months ago
    4out of 5stars
    That-1-gladiator
    Nice kit really beefs the axle up The only reason I give it a four-star is if you have a lift kit and or dual steering stabilizers you have to modify a few of the parts to get it to fit and some of them were not bent properly, so I had to put it in a vise in bend them back proper.
