JK ALUMINUM Mid Arm Kit - FRONT 3-LINK ONLY

The Artec JK Aluminum Mid Arm Kit — Front 3-Link converts the front of a Jeep Wrangler JK to a single-upper three-link using 2.0-inch OD 7075-T6 polished aluminum lower links. For the past several years Artec has run 7075-T6 aluminum links in its ARTECON test rig to prove they can survive both extreme rock crawling and daily driving, while shedding significant weight compared to standard steel tubing.

Key Features

• Two 2.0" OD 7075-T6 polished aluminum lower links
• Single-upper three-link configuration with a left-hand Rock Krawler 7/8" UCA U-bracket and stud
• Lower joints: 1.25"-12 tpi x 9/16" bore Rock Krawler joints (2 RH, 2 LH) with matching 1.25"-12 tpi jam nuts
• Upper joint: 7/8"-14 tpi x 9/16" bore Rock Krawler joint (1 RH) with 7/8"-14 tpi jam nuts
• 7075-T6 aluminum saves considerable weight over steel tubing while surviving hard rock-crawling abuse

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this fit my JK?
Yes, it is built for the 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU with a front three-link (single upper) layout.

What is the difference between this and the standard front kit?
This is a three-link with a single upper link. The standard JK Front Mid Arm Kit uses dual uppers.

Will aluminum links hold up to rock crawling?
Yes. Artec ran these 7075-T6 links through years of ARTECON testing under heavy rock-crawling and daily-driving abuse, and they save meaningful weight over steel.

Does it include everything to build the three-link?
It includes the lower links, all Rock Krawler joints and jam nuts, and the UCA U-bracket with stud. Brackets on the axle/frame and an upper link are needed to complete a full conversion.
