Modular Truss End

The Modular Truss End is the building block that lets Artec's Modular and Short trusses grow up into full-width trusses. Weld a pair of these ends onto a short truss and you get complete axle-tube reinforcement all the way out to the wheel ends, with a low profile that clears frame rails and doubles as a bump stop pad.

Key Features

• 3/8 in. thick mild steel truss top with 1/4 in. mild steel gussets
• Extends Artec Modular and Short trusses — and most other short-style trusses, even from other manufacturers — to full width
• Sized for a 3.5 in. axle tube diameter
• Reinforced with interlocking 1/4 in. gussets for maximum strength and easy, self-fixturing assembly
• Lower profile than a standard rear truss, ideal for clearing rear frame rails
• Provides a built-in bump stop pad

Fitment & Compatibility

Designed for 3.5 in. axle tubes. It complements Artec Modular and Short trusses — including the 14 bolt Front Truss and the Sterling 10.25 Rear Modular Truss — and works with most short-style trusses from other brands too. It is a weld-on part. Also see the 14 bolt Modular Truss as a base to extend.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a modular truss end for?
It extends an Artec Modular or Short truss out to full width, so a short truss can reinforce the axle tubes all the way to the ends.

What axle tube size does it fit?
It is cut for a 3.5 in. axle tube diameter.

Does it require welding?
Yes. The truss end welds to the axle tube and to the existing short truss. Stitch weld and manage heat to keep the housing straight.

Will it work with a non-Artec truss?
It is designed for Artec Modular and Short trusses but works with pretty much any short-style truss, including those from other manufacturers.
