The Artec Sterling 10.25 Rear Truss reinforces the heavy Ford Sterling 10.25 axle that's popular for one-ton rear swaps. A stout 3/8" top plate spans the full housing and doubles as a flat mounting surface for your upper links, while a 1/4" ram mount and interlocked 1/4" gussets tie everything together. Low profile keeps it tucked in tight so it fits into a wider range of builds.
Key Features
- 3/8" mild steel top plate for serious housing reinforcement
- 1/4" mild steel ram mount and gussets
- Full-width span reinforces the tubes across the entire axle
- Flat top surface serves as an upper-link mounting platform
- Low profile positions link joints with ideal geometry, roughly 9" from the axle centerline
- Interlocked 1/4" gussets for maximum strength and easy assembly
Fitment & Compatibility
Fits the Ford Sterling 10.25 rear axle - a common heavy-duty choice for one-ton rear swaps.
