JT APEX Rear Axle Truss

The JT APEX Rear Axle Truss reinforces the rear housing on the Jeep Gladiator JT so it can take the load of larger tires and demanding trail use. The patent-pending peaked APEX top delivers more rigidity than a flat-top truss while staying under 10 lbs, and the pre-bent profile drops onto the axle for a clean weld-on install.

Key Features

• Patent-pending APEX peaked-top profile for more rigidity than a flat-top truss
• CNC laser-cut in-house from 3/16" mild steel, under 10 lbs
• CNC-bent long seams let you drop it on the axle and weld, with no puzzle-piece assembly
• Modeled from Dana and Jeep 3D data for accurate fit and clearance
• Roughly 70% less welding than older truss designs, which limits heat warp

Fitment & Compatibility

Designed for the Jeep Gladiator JT (2020-present) rear axle housing. It suits the factory cast rear housing and is a popular reinforcement ahead of a big-tire and heavier-load build. Match it with the JL/JT APEX Front Axle Truss up front, add JT Rear Sway Bar Brackets for your setup, or step up to a full JT 1-Ton UD80 APEX Rear Axle Swap Kit & Truss.
