The new APEX Truss and Brackets for swapping in a 9 bolt 10.5 rear axle into a Jeep JK Wrangler ('07-'18)\u003cbr\u003eStronger Design, Lighter Weight, Easier Install. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 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 \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrevious version with long weld seams which can be lead to extra weld warping of the axle, longer install times and can be inconsistent. Without long seams to weld, now you drop the truss directly on to the axle and weld it to the axle faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtec Industries is excited to announce the JK 1 ton APEX Rear Sterling Truss Swap Kit. This is an advanced truss and bracket system which can be used for Superduty Sterling 10.5 or 10.2.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit provides the factory link, trackbar, spring, anti-sway bar, bump stop pads and shock locations all encompassed in an axle tube reinforcing truss system.

By purchasing, you acknowledge you understand potential conflict with the factory gas tank.
