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.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: normal;\"\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. Previous versions with long weld seams can be lead to extra weld warping of the axle, longer install times and can be inconsistent. This peaked structure not only applies to the axle tube between the coil perches but extends underneath the coil perches as well, forming a complete truss from end to end of axle, an industry first in an OEM axle application. The JK APEX Front Axle Truss has been secretly tested for over a year and a half proving that even though the truss is lighter weight, the peaked structure of the truss holds up to both extreme applications and daily driving. The new JK APEX Front Axle Truss is the epitome of low cost, easy and quick to weld, simple, strong, and complete solutions for making your factory Jeep axle take more abuse than originally intended. You want easy insurance for your axle? The JK APEX Truss provides it.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003ch1 align=\"center\"\u003e\u003cdiv align=\"left\" style=\"\"\u003e\u003cul style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cli\u003eJK Front LCA Brackets\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e - While Skids work well, sometimes a whole bracket replacement is needed.
