Artec's 60 Lower Link Axle Brackets solve a real one-ton packaging problem: getting a big, greaseable lower-link joint mounted on a Dana 60 with short axle tubes. Each bracket is a boxed 1/4" steel weldment contoured to the specific housing it is cut for, with a 2.625" mounting width and 9/16" bolt hole that accept common cartridge joints like the Johnny Joint, Flex, and Ballistic style. A top-access port keeps the grease fitting reachable after install, and an integrated skid plate shields the joint — the hardest-working joint on the axle — from rock strikes.
Features
- 1/4" boxed steel plate construction resists impacts and bending
- 2.625" mounting width with 9/16" bolt hole fits common cartridge joints
- Drills out to accept 1.25" rod ends with high-misalignment spacers
- Top-access grease fitting port keeps the joint serviceable
- Integrated skid plate protects the joint from trail damage
- Compact footprint fits short-tube Dana 60 housings where longer brackets will not
- CNC laser cut and bent from 3D-scanned housings; made in the USA
Choose the version that matches your housing: driver-side Ford Super Duty (3.5-3.75" tube), driver-side Ford kingpin (3.125" tube), or passenger-side Dodge. Welding is required, and the bare steel should get self-etching primer and paint after install. Running a standard-tube axle instead? See the Lower Link Axle Brackets for 3.0" and 3.5" tubes. Pair them with the Adjustable Link Tower or a full truss like the Dodge Dana 60 Front Truss up top, and browse more in axle reinforcements.
Dana 60 Lower Link Axle Brackets (Pair) FAQs
Which version do I need for my axle?
Match the bracket to your housing and short side: driver-side Ford Super Duty for 3.5-3.75" tubes, driver-side Ford kingpin for 3.125" tubes, or the passenger-side Dodge version. Measure your tube diameter and note which side your short tube is on before ordering.
What joints will these brackets accept?
The 2.625" mounting width and 9/16" bolt hole fit common cartridge-style joints such as the Johnny Joint, Flex, and Ballistic designs. If you run 1.25" rod ends instead, the hole can be drilled out and used with high-misalignment spacers.
Are they bolt-on, and how should I finish them?
No — these are weld-on brackets that get structurally welded to the axle tube, so competent welding is required. They ship as bare steel; Artec recommends self-etching primer and paint once welding is complete. The top-access grease port stays usable after installation, so the joint remains serviceable for the life of the build.
