Dana 44 Modular Rear Truss for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018

Artec's modular rear truss reinforces the Dana 44 rear axle under 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Rubicons, the housing that starts bending tubes once 37s, lockers, and hard hookup enter the picture. CNC cut and bent from 1/4" mild steel, it spans the housing — roughly 31" across the axle center — to tie both tubes together instead of just patching the middle. The flat, low-profile top doubles as a mounting surface for triangulated upper links, placing link joints about 8" from the axle centerline for clean geometry. It's built for JK owners converting to a linked rear suspension who want the axle stiffened at the same time.

Features

• CNC cut and bent from 1/4" mild steel for tight, repeatable fitment
• Spans roughly 31" across the axle center to reinforce the tubes, not just the link area
• Flat top mounts triangulated upper links about 8" from the axle centerline
• Interlocked 1/4" gussets self-locate for strength and easier assembly
• Low-profile shape keeps the axle compact and clear of surrounding components
• Modular layout works around optional coil perches for your suspension setup
• Made in the USA

This is a weld-on truss and only a competent welder should install it — Artec recommends heating the axle to around 400°F and stitch welding while alternating sides to limit warping. It ships as bare steel, so prime and paint after welding.
