Artec's front truss combines a 3\/8\" steel top with a 1\/4\" steel ram mount and interlocked gussets, giving the housing a rigid spine and a purpose-built surface for upper link brackets. Because the outer sections use trimmable Modular Truss Ends, one truss adapts to driver- or passenger-drop housings and any custom axle width, which makes it a natural pick for shortened swap axles going under Jeeps and buggies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8\" mild steel truss top with 1\/4\" mild steel ram mount and gussets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterlocked gussets tab into place for maximum strength and easy fixturing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrimmable Modular Truss Ends adapt the truss to any custom axle width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConfigures for driver- or passenger-side differential drop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccommodates pinion angles from 7 to 20 degrees, with trimming for more adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSized for 3.5\" axle tubes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow top puts link joints roughly 7-10\" from axle centerline with the proper brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC cut and bent in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlan the build before you burn anything in: pick your diff-drop side, set the housing to its final width, and trim the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/modular-truss-end\"\u003eModular Truss Ends\u003c\/a\u003e to match — then weld with the housing level, alternating stitch welds to manage heat, and coat the steel once fabrication is done.
