Apex Front Axle Armor Kit for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018

The JK Apex Front Axle Armor Kit bundles the reinforcements most 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU front axles actually need: the patented Apex truss across the top of the housing, 1/4" LCA skids under the vulnerable lower control arm mounts, 1/4" inner C gussets at the knuckles, and the Apex heavy-duty track bar bracket. Factory JK housings flex and the stamped brackets grind away on rocks long before the gears give up; this kit stiffens the assembly and shields those contact points so the stock Dana 30 or Dana 44 can carry up to 37" tires with confidence. It sits between buying the truss alone and going to the Ultimate kit.

Features

• Apex peaked-top truss, CNC laser cut from 1/8" mild steel, roughly 7 lbs
• 1/4" LCA skids deflect rock strikes away from the lower control arm mounts
• 1/4" inner C gussets tie the cast knuckle Cs to the axle tubes
• Apex heavy-duty track bar bracket replaces the weak factory bracket
• Choice of stock or raised track bar bracket height
• Good for up to 37" tires on unswapped JK front axles
• Pre-bent truss needs about 70% less welding than earlier designs

Match the kit to your axle, Dana 44 for Rubicon or Dana 30 for Sport and Sahara, and choose stock track bar height for mild lifts with an adjustable bar or raised height if your lift uses a drag link flip. All components weld on, and the cast center section calls for careful preheating and slow cooling, so have the work done by a capable welder. Want shock brackets and HD LCA brackets included? Step up to the JK Apex Ultimate Armor Kit; the truss by itself is also listed separately. Browse the rest of our axle reinforcement lineup and Jeep Wrangler upgrades.
