1 TON - APEX Front SD Differential Top Cap 2005+

The 1 TON APEX Front SD Differential Top Cap is a heavy-duty weld-on cap for the 2005-and-newer Ford Super Duty Dana 60 front axle. It welds directly to the differential casting to create a solid mounting surface for the driver-side upper control arm bracket — a common trouble spot when building a Super Duty front axle into a Jeep with an APEX front swap kit.

Key Features

• Welds directly to the Super Duty Dana 60 differential casting for a strong, permanent mount
• Creates the mounting point for the driver-side upper control arm bracket
• CNC laser cut in-house from 1/4" mild steel for strength
• Peaked APEX-style top adds rigidity while eliminating long weld seams
• CNC bent to drop onto the axle ready to weld, with no puzzle-piece assembly
• Designed from 3D model data for accurate fit and clearance

Fitment & Compatibility

Fits the 2005-and-newer Ford Super Duty front Dana 60 (Super 60) axle. Intended for use when swapping that axle under a Jeep with Artec's APEX front Super Duty swap components. Welding is required. For 1999-2004 Super Duty castings, use the corresponding earlier top cap.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the top cap do?
It welds to the Super Duty Dana 60 differential casting to create a mounting surface for the driver-side upper control arm bracket, which the factory casting doesn't provide.

Which axle years does it fit?
The 2005-and-newer Ford Super Duty front Dana 60. Earlier 1999-2004 castings use the 1999-2004 top cap instead.

Do I weld it on?
Yes. It's a weld-on part that drops onto the casting; the peaked top adds rigidity and avoids long seams. This piece is typically part of building a JK/JL/JT APEX Front Super Duty Swap Kit (2005+).
