The Artec 14 Bolt Combo Kit pairs the 14 Bolt Rear Axle Truss with a Pinion Guard and Bridge to armor and reinforce a GM 14-bolt single-rear-wheel axle from top to bottom. The truss reinforces the full length of the axle tubes and gives you a flat surface to mount upper links, while the pinion guard protects the exposed nose and adds a link-mount bridge.
Key Features
- Combines the 14-bolt rear truss with a pinion guard and bridge in one kit
- 3/8" thick mild steel truss top plate for maximum strength
- 1/4" mild steel gussets interlocked into the truss for rigidity and easy assembly
- Precision CNC-cut and bent components for consistent fitment
- Low-profile design keeps link joints roughly 8" from axle centerline for ideal geometry
- Truss spans the entire axle to reinforce the tubes — not just to hang links
- Pinion guard shields the exposed pinion and adds a bridged upper-link mount
Fitment & Compatibility
Built for the GM 14-bolt full-float rear axle in single-rear-wheel (SRW) configuration — a common one-ton rear axle swap under Jeeps, buggies, and trucks. The low-profile truss is designed to tuck the axle up cleanly and provide a link-mounting surface. Welding is required to install.

Frequently Asked Questions
What axle is this for?
The GM 14-bolt full-float rear axle in single-rear-wheel (SRW) form, a popular one-ton rear swap.
What's the difference between this and buying the truss alone?
The combo bundles the truss with the 14 Bolt Pinion Guard with Bridge so you armor the pinion nose and reinforce the tubes together. The standalone 14 Bolt Rear Truss (SRW) is available separately.
Does it require welding?
Yes. The truss and gussets weld to the axle housing. The interlocking gussets make alignment and assembly easier.
Why is the low profile important?
It keeps the axle sleeker and easier to fit while placing the upper-link mounts about 8" from centerline for good link geometry.
Is there a fully modular version?
Yes. If you prefer a bolt-together modular layout, see the 14 Bolt Modular Truss.
