Inner C Gussets for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018

The Artec JK Inner C Gussets reinforce the hardest-worked joint on a lifted JK's front axle — the inner C, where steering and ball-joint loads feed into the axle tube. On 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU front Dana 30 and Dana 44 axles, big tires and high-traction wheeling flex this junction until it cracks. These 1/4" steel gussets wrap the factory casting and tie it into the tube, stiffening the knuckle area dramatically for a modest price. They are a smart add for any JK running 35s or larger, and a near-mandatory one for lockers and heavy bumpers.

Features

• 1/4" steel, CNC laser cut and formed to hug the factory inner C
• Contoured wrap maximizes weld contact between the C and the axle tube
• Fits both Dana 30 and Dana 44 front axles under the JK and JKU
• Set includes universal upper gussets plus dedicated driver- and passenger-side lower pieces
• Fights the flex and cracking that ball joints and knuckles transmit into the housing
• Made in the USA

These fit factory JK Dana 30 and 44 housings; aftermarket housings such as the Ultimate Dana 44 need modification, so check yours first. This is a weld-on job — Artec recommends heating the cast Cs to roughly 300-400 degrees before welding, and the work is easiest with the axle stripped.
