Axle Housing Brace, JK 1 Ton APEX Rear Sterling Truss Swap Kit, Steel, Natural, Jeep, Sterling 10.5 in., Kit

Artec Industries JK 1-ton APEX rear Sterling truss swap kits assist you with swapping in a Superduty Sterling 10.5 or 10.2 axle into your Jeep JK. They feature patent-pending APEX trusses that go to a whole new level of strength, weight savings, simplicity of installation, precision fitment, and complete axle protection.

These advanced truss and bracket kits provide the factory link, track bar, spring, anti-sway bar, bump stop pads, and shock locations all encompassed in an axle tube reinforcing truss system.

Features:
• CNC precision laser-cut in-house from 1/4 in. and 3/16 in. mild steel
• Lightweight yet strong ... only 42 lbs. total
• 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
• 2-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
• Save hours of installation time with the built-in axle tube truss which is quicker to weld than individual brackets
• Track bar mount includes four locations for those who have aftermarket lifts. Stock height hole is not included though
• Coil spring locator is machined from solid steel making welding to bracket quicker than previous tube and cap-style locators
• Shock brackets have been moved up for a slightly higher clearance lower control arm bracket
• Easily upgradeable for future link geometry changes. Just trim off factory location upper control mounts and weld on a center link mount
