44 Wagoneer MODULAR Rear Truss

The Artec Industries 44 Wagoneer Modular Rear Axle Truss is a weld-on reinforcement for the Dana 44 rear axle used in the full-size Jeep Wagoneer. Built to take serious trail abuse, it stiffens the entire housing against the loads created by larger tires and a linked suspension, while giving you a flat, correctly positioned surface to mount your upper links. Its modular design lets you add either leaf-spring or coil-spring perches to suit your build.

Key Features

• 1/4" thick mild steel construction for heavy-duty strength
• Precision CNC cut and bent for consistent fitment
• Low-profile design lets link joints mount with ideal geometry, roughly 8 inches from the axle centerline
• Spans the entire length of the axle to reinforce the tubes, not just the link mounts
• Reinforced with interlocked 1/4" gussets for maximum strength and self-jigging assembly
• Modular add-on leaf-spring or coil-spring perches for a converted or stock-style suspension

Fitment & Compatibility

Designed for the Dana 44 rear axle found in the full-size Jeep Wagoneer. This is a weld-on truss intended for builders converting to a link suspension or reinforcing a leaf-sprung axle. Optional coil-spring or leaf-spring perches are selected to match your suspension. Welding and fabrication experience are required for installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What axle does this truss fit?
It is built for the Dana 44 rear axle used in the full-size Jeep Wagoneer. It reinforces the housing and provides a flat mounting surface for upper links.

Does it require welding?
Yes. This is a weld-on truss. The interlocked 1/4" gussets self-jig for assembly, but full welding and fabrication are required to install it correctly.

Can I run coil springs or leaf springs?
Both. The truss is modular, so you add either leaf-spring or coil-spring perches depending on how your suspension is set up. Artec's leaf spring perch and plates are a common companion.

Why is the link mount positioned about 8 inches from the centerline?
The low-profile design places the upper-link joints roughly 8 inches from the axle centerline, which gives ideal link geometry for articulation and control. Pair it with Artec truss upper link mounts to complete the link setup.
