The Sterling 10.25/10.5 Rear Modular Truss is the most versatile way to reinforce the popular Ford Super Duty rear axle for a one-ton swap under a Jeep TJ or YJ. It ties the axle tubes to the center section to handle serious abuse and provides a flat, purpose-built platform for mounting your upper links.
Key Features
- 3/8 in. thick mild steel truss top with 1/4 in. mild steel gussets
- Modular layout — the most versatile truss available for the Sterling rear axle
- Low profile allows link joints to be mounted with ideal geometry, about 8 in. from the axle centerline
- Reinforced with interlocking 1/4 in. gussets for maximum strength and easy, self-fixturing assembly
- Precision CNC cut and bent for accurate fitment
- Sleek profile keeps the axle strong while staying easy to package and clear of vehicle components
Fitment & Compatibility
Fits the Ford Sterling 10.25 and 10.5 rear axle — a favorite one-ton rear axle for TJ and YJ swaps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What axle does this fit?
It is built for the Ford Sterling 10.25 and 10.5 rear axle, commonly used for one-ton rear swaps under Jeep TJ and YJ builds.
Does it require welding?
Yes, it is a weld-on truss. Keep the housing level, stitch weld in an alternating pattern to control warp, and manage heat in the axle tubes.
Where do the upper links mount?
The low-profile top places link joints with ideal geometry about 8 in. from the axle centerline.
How is the modular version different from a standard truss?
The modular design is more adaptable to different builds and widths, which is why Artec calls it the most versatile truss available for the Sterling axle.
