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\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\u003eThis Truss is the heart of the APEX 1 ton swap kits for JK, JL, and JT and allows not improves rigidity and strength to the axle around the differential, it allows for mounting upper links over the differential if desired.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThis truss fits Ultimate Dana 60 rear axles specifically with axle tubes 19.7 inch long and 18.9 inch long between castings and brake flange bracket. Overall length on this truss is 27.18 inches (+-.125 inch). May fit other Dana 60 rear axles with minor trimming but we have not verified.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e This truss is very form fitting to the contours of the casting. Due to variances in casting of this axle over the years, some trimming may be necessary on the truss and non-essential parts of the casting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatent Pending APEX peaked top design provides more rigidity than a flat top truss design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC Precision Laser cut in-house from 3\/16 inch mild steel for a lightweight yet strong solution...only 13 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC Precision Bent in-house for a great fitment.
