JT/JL to TJ Rear Swap

The Artec Industries JT/JL to TJ Rear Swap is a weld-on bracket kit for installing a modern Jeep JL or Gladiator JT Dana M220 rear axle under a Jeep Wrangler TJ or LJ. The brackets weld to the M220 housing and re-create the TJ's rear control-arm, coil and shock mounting points, so a stronger, wider Rubicon-grade rear axle bolts into your factory-style suspension with the correct geometry and clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which axle does this fit?
It is built for the Jeep JL/JT Dana M220 rear axle.

Which Jeep does the axle go into?
The kit adapts that M220 axle to fit under a Jeep Wrangler TJ (1997-2006) or Unlimited LJ (2004-2006).

Is welding required?
Yes. The brackets weld directly to the axle tubes, so accurate placement and a capable welder are required.

Should I swap the front axle too?
Most builders pair this with the front M210 swap brackets so the Jeep runs a matched JL/JT axle set front and rear.
