The Ford 9 inch Front Truss from Artec Industries turns a Ford 9" center section into a stout, link-ready front housing. It is a full-width, low-profile truss that reinforces the entire axle while giving you a flat, correctly located surface for your upper link mounts — a common foundation for custom 3- and 4-link front ends. The design keeps the housing sleek so it tucks into tight engine bays and front clips without fighting other components.
Key Features
- 1/4" thick mild steel truss top with 10 gauge (.130") mild steel gussets, precision CNC cut and bent.
- Low-profile geometry places the link joints roughly 8" from the axle centerline for ideal link angles.
- Spans the entire length of the axle for complete tube reinforcement — not just a link-mounting pad.
- Reinforced with interlocked 10 gauge gussets for maximum strength and self-jigging, easy assembly.
- Overall low profile means a stronger, sleeker axle that fits more vehicles and clears more components.
Fitment & Compatibility
Designed for the Ford 9 inch housing used as a front axle in custom builds. Because it is a fabrication component for one-off front axles rather than a bolt-in for a specific vehicle year, confirm your housing and desired link geometry before ordering. It works hand-in-hand with Artec upper link mounts and an Artec Pinion Guard for Ford 9 inch to protect the exposed nine-inch pinion up front.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this for a front or rear Ford 9 inch?
It is a front truss. The low-profile top provides an upper-link mounting surface, which is what a front 9" build needs for a 3- or 4-link.
How thick is the material?
The truss top is 1/4" mild steel and the gussets are 10 gauge (.130") mild steel, interlocked for strength and to help jig the assembly during welding.
Where do the upper links mount?
The design locates the link joints about 8" from the axle centerline, which keeps link angles reasonable while staying low-profile for clearance.
Does it require welding?
Yes. This is a weld-on truss intended for custom fabrication. Full-penetration welds and proper mock-up of your link geometry are recommended.
