Dana 44 Axle Truss (Centered, Full Width)

Artec's centered full-width Dana 44 truss is built for one job: turning a centered-differential Dana 44 — like the TJ Rubicon rear axle — into a proper foundation for a linked suspension. Cut from 1/4" mild steel, it spans roughly 43.5" across the housing, reinforcing the tubes from end to end while its flat, low-profile top becomes the mounting platform for your upper links. This is a fabrication part for triangulated 4-link builds running coilovers or air shocks; it is not intended for axles keeping factory leaf or coil-bucket brackets.

Features

• 1/4" mild steel throughout, precision CNC cut and bent
• Full-width span of approximately 43.5" reinforces the entire housing
• Low profile puts upper-link joints roughly 8" from the axle centerline
• Interlocked 1/4" gussets self-jig for accurate assembly and maximum rigidity
• Fits centered (symmetrical) differential Dana 44 housings such as the TJ Rubicon rear
• Can be modified to suit larger tube diameters per Artec
• Slim shape packages cleanly in tight chassis

Measure your housing before ordering: the differential must be centered, and the truss is designed around a triangulated 4-link with coilover or air shocks. Installation is weld-on and demands solid fabrication skills, and the bare steel should be prepped for paint or powder coat after welding. Hang your lower links with the Lower Link Axle Brackets, add Truss Upper Link Mounts and Coilover Tabs up top, and see the rest of our axle reinforcements.
