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. The JK APEX Front Axle Truss has been secretly tested for over a
year and a half proving that even though the truss is lighter weight, the
peaked structure of the truss holds up to both extreme applications and daily
driving. The new JK APEX Front 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 JK APEX Truss provides it.
JK Front LCA Skids - These heavy duty skids are designed to
take serious abuse and reinforce your JL 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.
JK Inner C Gussets - These heavy duty inner C gussets are
designed to take serious abuse and reinforce your front Dana 30 or 44 JK Inner
C's. The 1/4" thick precision cut
and formed components precisely contour and wrap around your inner c and add
rigidity.
JK APEX Trackbar Brackets - One of the weakest components of
your factory axle is the axle side tracbar bracket and it's typically one of
the main reasons for "death wobble". Our new Heavy Duty Tracbar
brackets are designed to work with our new APEX Truss and eliminate the issues
caused by weak factory brackets. They are seriously beefy and ready to take the
abuse not to mention raise your steering stabilizer up and out of the way of
rocks. For those running smaller lifts and are using an adjustable tracbar
mounting to the the factory location, choose STOCK HEIGHT. For those with
taller lifts that require a DRAG LINK FLIP, choose RAISED HEIGHT.
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 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% 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 to 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 37 inch tires on stock
JK axles**
- Truss strengthens the weakest sections of the axle...under
the coil perches, 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***
- Front LCA Skids, Inner C Gussets and HD Trackbar Brackets
made from 1/4" steel
- Skids, Gussets, and Brackets strengthen or replace weak
components of the axle that are prone to failure
