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.\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. Previous 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\u003eWe started the Jeep 1 ton Revolution and now we're taking it to the next level. The new APEX swap kit is designed to have a simpler, faster install, with less parts and weight and lower price. We've worked hard to improve everything, from making the truss easier to weld, to less warping from welding, to optimizing the shock bracket locations and lowering the upper control arm mounts for more clearance and better geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe improvements made have been suggested by our network of dealer\/installers who build these kits every day. Now they are a reality. The new 1 Ton APEX Front Swap Kit delivers in every way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis heavy duty truss and bracket system is designed to take serious abuse and reinforce your entire axle while also providing the factory link, spring, anti-sway bar, and shock locations. The 3\/16 inch thick truss incorporates a unique peaked design to strengthen both the axle and incorporate the link brackets for ease of installation and added strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy using the truss to align the link mounts, hours of work and trial and error can be avoided when compared to other bracket systems. Simply tack weld the truss on the axle, and all the other brackets fit into place exactly where they need to be.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJL 1 Ton APEX Front Superduty Swap Kit 2005-Present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWith Daystar Bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatent Pending APEX Truss peaked top design provides more rigidity than a flat top truss design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC Precision Laser cut in-house from 1\/4 inch and 3\/16 inch mild steel for a lightweight yet strong solution...starting at only 30 lbs total\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC Precision Bent in-house for a great fitment.

This truss is not intended for newer axles due to different differential offsets.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrimming of the factory differential casting may be necessary (see instructions). Other fabrication and modifications may be needed due to variances in lift kits and other factors. Removal of passenger side leaf spring perch is necessary.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDue to the larger casting on the 60 differential, the Lower Control Arm (LCA) brackets are wider than factory location (41.5 inch Center to Center). Modifications to your Lower Control Arms will likely be necessary. If you have adjustable arms with flexible style joints (heims, Johnny Joints, etc), modifications may not be necessary. Upper Control Arm (UCA) brackets are also slightly higher than factory so adjustable arms may be necessary. The shock mounts are also slightly higher (1.25 inch) than stock to clear the lower control arms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis kit does not include any parts for ABS sensors. It is only a bracket kit. Hooking up and configuring these sensors is the responsibility of the end user.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60 axles Do Not Match the factory JK 5 lug wheel bolt pattern. New wheels will need to be purchased to do this swap. Brake and Steering components Not Included in this product, but will be available soon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis will likely require bumpstop extensions and a new trackbar since the steering is different on this axle from factory axle. The trackbar bracket is higher than stock location to allow proper steering geometry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Artec Industries","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47629169000680,"sku":"JL6551-GNKQ","price":593.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0699\/6135\/1400\/files\/JL6551-GNKQ_f0662106-5a1e-4b29-9d31-45dcabeb28aa.jpg?v=1756254044","url":"https:\/\/store.jeepcnx.com\/products\/jl-1-ton-apex-front-superduty-swap-kit-2005-present-w-daystar-bushings-artec-industries-25","provider":"JeepCNX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
