Triangulated TJ Sterling 1-ton Swap Kit with Truss

The Triangulated TJ Sterling 1-ton Swap Kit with Truss is built to put a Ford Super Duty Sterling one-ton rear axle under a Jeep TJ Wrangler while deleting the track bar. Heavy 3/8" and 1/4" trussing reinforces the housing and triangulated upper links locate the axle, giving you a one-ton rear that takes serious abuse without the failure points of a track bar.

Key Features

• 3/8" thick truss top with 1/4" thick truss gussets and 1/4" thick brackets for much higher strength than factory or typical aftermarket brackets. Precision CNC cut and bent.
• Includes all the brackets for a complete swap: upper and lower control arm mounts, shock mounts, and coil spring mounts.
• Eliminates the track bar with triangulated upper control arms for stronger, cleaner rear geometry.
• Outer brackets self-locate to the truss, removing the guesswork and measuring from installation.
• Truss upper link mount width is 2.63" to accept a 1.25" rod end kit or other large joints.
• Note: does not include factory-style sway bar mounts. The large Sterling third member will not clear a factory TJ sway bar, so an aftermarket rear sway bar is required.

Fitment & Compatibility

Designed to swap a Ford Super Duty Sterling one-ton rear axle into the Jeep TJ Wrangler (1997-2006). This is a triangulated four-link design and is not for use with OEM control arms; new upper links and frame-side brackets are required. A factory sway bar cannot be used with the track-bar-delete geometry, so an aftermarket rear sway bar is needed. Running a GM axle instead? See the Triangulated TJ 14-bolt 1-ton Swap Kit with Truss. Add an Adjustable Truss Upper Link Mount to dial in link geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What axle and Jeep is this kit for?
It swaps a Ford Super Duty Sterling one-ton rear axle into the Jeep TJ Wrangler (1997-2006).

Do I need new control arms and links?
Yes. It is a triangulated four-link that deletes the track bar, so it requires new upper links and frame-side brackets and is not compatible with OEM control arms.

Why is there no sway bar mount?
The Sterling third member is too large to clear a factory TJ sway bar, so the kit omits factory-style sway bar mounts and an aftermarket rear sway bar must be used.

What joints fit the upper link mount?
The upper link mount is 2.63" wide to accept a 1.25" rod end kit or other large joints.
