JT ALUMINUM Mid Arm Kit

The JT Aluminum Mid Arm Kit is Artec's weight-saving control arm and link package for the Jeep Gladiator JT, built around 2.0" OD 7075-T6 aluminum links and Rock Krawler joints. After years of testing 7075 aluminum links in the ARTECON, Artec offers a kit that stands up to hard rock crawling and daily driving while shedding significant rotating and unsprung weight compared to standard steel tubing.

Key Features

• Four 2.0" OD 7075-T6 polished aluminum lower links and two 2.0" OD 7075-T6 polished aluminum upper links
• Two Rock Krawler solid steel front upper control arms with joints
• Rock Krawler joints: 6 RH and 6 LH, 1.25"-12 TPI x 5/8" hole, with matching 1.25"-12 TPI jam nuts
• Threaded, adjustable ends for fine-tuning caster, pinion angle, and wheelbase
• Aerospace-grade 7075 aluminum resists corrosion and saves weight over steel links
• Field-tested for both extreme rock crawling and normal daily driving

Fitment & Compatibility

Fits the Jeep Gladiator JT (2020-present). This is a mid-arm-length link package intended for Gladiator builds running a mid-arm suspension geometry. Confirmed by Artec for use with lifts in the 4.5" range. A full conversion typically also requires Artec's HD Crossmember with Link Mounts, frame-mount bracket, and truss upper link mounts, sold separately. For a matching front truss, pair it with the JL-JT APEX Front Axle Truss.

Frequently Asked Questions

What vehicle does this kit fit?
It is designed for the Jeep Gladiator JT (2020-present) running a mid-arm suspension setup.

Why aluminum links instead of steel?
The 7075-T6 aluminum links save meaningful weight over steel tubing and resist corrosion, so there is no need for frequent repainting. Artec tested them for years in the ARTECON to confirm they hold up to hard rock crawling.

Are the links adjustable?
Yes. The threaded ends allow fine-tuning of your caster, pinion angle, and wheelbase during setup.

Do I need anything else to install the kit?
Depending on your build, a full conversion generally also needs Artec's HD Crossmember with Link Mounts, a frame-mount bracket, and truss upper link mounts, which are sold separately.

Can I run these on other Jeep platforms?
This specific kit is built for the Gladiator JT. Artec offers separate aluminum mid arm kits for the JL and JK platforms.
