Artec Industries 9 Inch Rear Axle Truss

ART-TR0902

Artec's Ford 9" Rear Axle Truss reinforces and flattens the upper link mounting surface while spanning the entire axle length. The 1/4" truss top and 10-gauge gussets provide superior strength and easy assembly. The low profile design improves axle strength and reduces interference with vehicle components.

Artec Industries introduces the NEW Ford 9 inch Rear Axle Truss, designed to reinforce your entire axle and provide a flat surface for upper link mounting. The heavy-duty truss system is built to withstand serious abuse, thanks to the 1/4" thick truss top and 10 gauge thick gussets. The universal design fits nearly any housing and can be easily trimmed to shape for both fabricated and stamped axle housings. To prevent warping, welding should be done carefully with sufficient cooling time between welds. Upgrade your Ford 9 inch rear axle with Artec's high-quality truss system for enhanced strength and performance.

Features:

• 1/4" thick truss top and 10 gauge gussets for great fitment and strength
• Large gussets dimple die for weight savings and increased strength
• Low profile design allows ideal link joint geometry about 8 inches from the axle centerline
• Spans entire length of axle for complete reinforcement of the axle tubes, not just for mounting links
• Reinforced using interlocked 10 gauge gussets for easy assembly and maximum strength
• Sleek design makes axle stronger and easier to fit into any vehicle while reducing interference with other components

Notes:

• This truss has no cutout for the center section. It will require trimming to fit.
• This kit requires general welding and fabrication skills. Welding should only be done by a competent welder. Artec Industries implies no guarantees or warranties and is not liable for improper installation.

Artec Industries APEX Truss sets a new standard in cost, strength, and installation. The peaked top offers rigidity and weight reduction while eliminating long weld seams. Fits SPIDERTRAX housings with centered diffs.

Artec Industries proudly introduces the APEX Truss, the next generation of PATENT PENDING axle trusses. This truss sets a new standard in cost savings, strength, weight savings, simplicity of installation, precision fitment, and complete axle protection. The unique peaked shape top provides extra rigidity while reducing weight and eliminating long weld seams, resulting in faster and more consistent installation. The APEX truss is the heart of the APEX 1 ton swap kits for JK, JL, and JT, improving rigidity and allowing for mounting upper links over the differential. Fits SPIDERTRAX axle housings with centered differentials and may fit other fabricated 9 inch housings.

Features:

• PATENT PENDING APEX design for extra rigidity and less welding
• CNC Precision Laser cut from 3/16" mild steel, lightweight yet strong (only 11 lbs)
• CNC Precision Bent for great fitment, drop-in-place installation with no puzzle assembling
• 3D modeled for a precise fit and clearances with surrounding components
• 70% less welding needed than previous truss designs, reduces warping, turnaround time, and cost
• Contours to the differential, suitable for chromoly housings with special weld rod and pre/post-heating
• Low profile design allows ideal geometry for link joint mounting and fits between leaf springs
• Stronger, sleeker, easier to fit, and less interference with vehicle components
• Made in the USA

Notes:

• This truss is very form fitting to the contours of the casting. Due to variances in axles of this axle over the years, some trimming may be necessary on the truss and non-essential parts of the casting.
• This kit requires general welding and fabrication skills. Welding should only be done by a competent welder. Artec Industries implies no guarantees or warranties and is not liable for improper installation.
