Description

Artec Industries JK/JL/JT 1-ton APEX front Super Duty swap kits are stronger in design, lighter in weight, and easier to install. The patent-pending APEX trusses take these features to a whole new level along with precision fitment, and complete axle protection. Available with three different styles of upper control arm brackets, the kits contain upper and lower control arm mounts, shock mounts, anti-sway bar mounts, track bar mount, bump stop pads, and coil spring mounts.

Features:

* CNC precision laser-cut in-house from 1/4 in. and 3/16 in. mild steel
* CNC precision bent in-house for a great fitment--literally drop the truss in place on the axle and it's ready to weld
* Designed used 3D models directly from Ford and Jeep for not only an amazing fit but clearances with surrounding components
* 70 percent less welding needed than previous truss designs mean 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 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
* Heavy-duty track bar bracket can slide to multiple positions for steering geometry fine tuning
* Shock brackets have been moved up and out (compared to JK OEM position) for a slightly higher clearance lower control arm bracket
