The Ultimate Bracketless Crate Rear Axle is now available to pair with Artec's APEX Truss & Bracket System for your Jeep Wrangler.

This combination delivers the ultimate axle swap package for enhanced performance, dependability, and maximum strength. The patented APEX Truss System represents the next evolution of axle trusses from Artec Industries, offering affordability, durability, lightness, and ease of installation to provide unparalleled protection for your axle. Its innovative peaked top design offers greater rigidity, lower weight, and eliminates long weld seams, streamlining the installation process.

This robust truss and bracket system accommodates the factory link, spring, anti-sway bar, and shock locations while withstanding extreme wear and tear.

The 3/16" thick steel truss allows easy alignment of the link mounts, saving you time and hassle during the installation. The patented APEX peaked top enhances rigidity over flat top designs. CNC laser cut and formed from 1/4" and 3/16" mild steel, this kit combines durability with ease of handling. Lightweight, high strength construction reduces warping and speeds up turnaround. 70% less welding needed compared to traditional designs lowers costs. 3D models from Dana Corp/SPICER and OEM vehicle ensure a perfect fit and clearance.
