Ford 85-91.5 60 Front Truss

The Artec Industries Ford 60 Front Axle Truss reinforces the front Dana 60 axle found under 1985-1991.5 Ford trucks. Built to survive serious trail abuse, it stiffens the entire housing against the twisting loads of big tires and a linked suspension while providing a flat, correctly positioned surface to mount your upper links.

Key Features

• 3/8" thick mild steel truss top for heavy-duty housing reinforcement
• Reinforced with interlocked 1/4" gussets for maximum strength and easy assembly
• Precision CNC cut and bent for consistent fitment
• Low-profile design lets link joints mount with ideal geometry, about 8 inches from the axle centerline
• Spans the entire axle length to reinforce the tubes, not just the link mounts
• Flat upper-link mounting surface for a clean linked-front build
