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 lead to extra weld warping of the axle, longer install times and can be inconsistent. 
 
The APEX Truss also helps to prevent axle tubes from spinning in the differential which is a known issue on the UD60.
 
The new UD60 Front APEX Truss is the epitome of low cost, easy and quick to weld, simple, strong, and complete solutions for making your upgraded axle even stronger. You want easy insurance for your axle? The JL/JT APEX Truss provides it.
 
Kit Includes:
- One (1) front truss 
  • Provides more rigidity than a flat top truss
  • CNC laser cut and CNC bent in house for precise fitment
  • 3/16" mild steel construction
  • 70% less welding needed than previous designs- less warping, faster turnaround and lower costs
  • All long seams are bent
  • Dimpled holes provide weight reduction and rigidity & strength
  • Contours to the cast steel differential and can be welded with normal MIG welder and moderate pre- and post-heating
  • Prevents axle tube spinning in the differential
  • Strengthens the weakest sections of the axle
  • Low profile design

Notes:
** Some grinding and fitment may be required when installing this kit. Every axle varies slightly and some fabrication may be required.
*** In rare and extreme cases, the truss may come into contact with the oil pan. Prior to operating the vehicle, remove the coil springs, cycle the suspension including full compression of both sides simultaneously and add bump stop extensions to prevent damage to the oil pan.
**** This kit is intended for vehicles with at least minor lifts (2.0"+ recommended) and at least 1/2" bump stop extensions. Check clearances before installing. Not tested in Non-US JK models or RHD axles
***** This kit requires general welding and fabrication skills including welding to the cast center section. Welding should only be done by a competent welder. Artec Industries and Offroad Elements imply no guarantees or warranties and are not liable for improper installation

Fits:
Jeep Wrangler JL 2 Door (2018+)
Jeep Wrangler JL 4 Door Unlimited (2018+)
Jeep Gladiator JT (2020+)
