Artec's 60 Lower Link Axle Brackets solve a common one-ton problem: fitting a big lower-link joint on a Dana 60 with a short axle tube. This boxed-steel pair gives you a stout, greaseable mounting point for cartridge joints on the lower links, in a footprint tight enough to work where longer brackets won't fit.
Key Features
- Made from 1/4" thick boxed steel plate for strength and impact resistance
- 2.625" mounting width with a 9/16" bolt hole for common cartridge joints (Johnny Joint, Flex, Ballistic, etc.)
- Can be drilled out to a larger hole for 1.25" rod ends with spacers
- Grease-fitting access on top for easy maintenance of your hardest-working joint
- Compact footprint fits short-tube Dana 60 housings where bigger brackets won't
- Sold as a pair, in housing-specific versions

Frequently Asked Questions
What joints do these brackets fit?
They use a 2.625" mounting width with a 9/16" hole for common cartridge joints like Johnny Joint, Flex, and Ballistic. Drill the hole larger to run 1.25" rod ends with spacers.
Which version do I need?
Match your housing and side: Ford 3.5-3.75" Super Duty (driver side), Dodge (passenger side), or Ford 3.125" Kingpin (driver side).
Why boxed steel with a top grease port?
The boxed 1/4" plate resists impact, and the grease-fitting access on top lets you service the lower joint — typically the most abused joint on the axle — without removing the bracket.
Do they require welding?
Yes. The brackets weld to the axle tube. Their compact footprint is designed for short-tube Dana 60 housings.
Are there standard (non-60) versions?
Yes. For other axles see the standard Lower Link Axle Brackets (pair).
