Dana 44 Modular Rear Truss for Full-Size Jeep Wagoneer

The Artec Industries 44 Wagoneer Modular Rear Truss is a weld-on reinforcement for the Dana 44 rear axle under full-size Jeep Wagoneers. Big tires and a linked suspension will eventually bend a bare 44 housing; this 1/4" steel truss ties the tubes together across a 32.5" center span and gives you a flat, correctly positioned deck for upper link mounts. The modular part is the spring hardware: add-on leaf or coil perches bolt into the design, so the same truss works whether you keep leaf springs or convert to links and coils.

Features

• 1/4" mild steel plate throughout, CNC cut and bent in the USA
• Interlocked 1/4" gussets self-jig during assembly and stiffen the structure
• Spans 32.5" across the axle center to reinforce the tubes, not just the link area
• Sized for the Wagoneer Dana 44 rear with 2.75" diameter axle tubes
• Modular add-on leaf-spring or coil-spring perches match your suspension plan
• Low-profile top puts upper link joints about 8" from the axle centerline
• Can be rotated slightly on the housing to fine-tune pinion angle

Measure before you buy: this truss is proportioned for the Wagoneer rear 44 (roughly 18" driver-side and 20" passenger-side tube lengths) with 2.75" tubes, and it can sit off-center on earlier Dana 44s from other vehicles. It welds on, so stitch-weld rather than running continuous beads, and expect to trim gussets depending on pinion angle. Pair it with Truss Upper Link Mounts for a linked rear, add leaf spring perch plates for a sprung setup, or see the rest of our axle reinforcements.
