JK2TJ Front Axle Swap Kit Dana 44 Rubicon LCA Brackets Artec Industries

Artec Industries is excited to announce the JK2TJ Front Axle Swap Kit. This heavy duty truss and bracket system is designed to take serious abuse and reinforce your entire axle while also providing the factory link, anti-sway bar, tracbar and shock locations. The 1/4 inch thick truss top incorporates a unique design to strengthen both the axle and incorporate the link brackets For ease of installation and added strength. By incorporating the link mounts into the truss, hours of work and trial and error can be avoided when compared to other bracket systems. Simply place the truss on the axle and all the other brackets fit into place exactly where they need to be.
