1-Ton APEX Rear 9-Inch Truss Swap Kit for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018

The Artec Industries JK 1-Ton APEX Rear 9-Inch Truss Swap Kit is the next-generation truss and bracket package for swapping a Spidertrax/Ford 9-inch rear axle under a 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK. Its patent-pending peaked-top APEX truss contours to the differential and integrates the coil brackets and bumpstop pads directly into the structure, delivering more rigidity than a flat-top truss at roughly 40 lbs of total steel. Because the long seams arrive pre-bent instead of welded, the housing sees about 70% less weld heat — your one-ton rear goes together faster and comes out straighter.

Features

• Patent-pending APEX peaked-top truss is stiffer than a traditional flat-top design
• CNC laser cut in-house from 1/4" and 3/16" mild steel — roughly 40 lbs total
• CNC bent to drop onto the 9-inch housing ready to weld, no puzzle-piece assembly
• Coil brackets and bumpstop pads integrated into the truss itself
• Dimpled holes trim weight while adding rigidity
• Works with the JK's factory link, spring, anti-sway bar, and shock locations
• About 70% less welding than earlier trusses means less warp and faster turnaround
• Modeled from Spidertrax and Jeep 3D data for precise fit and clearance

Fits the Wrangler JK (2007-2018) converting to a Spidertrax or Ford 9-inch rear housing; this is a weld-on kit for a competent fabricator, and the bare steel needs paint after final welding. Build the front to match with the APEX Front 9-Inch Swap Kit, or compare the budget-friendly JK 1-Ton Basics Rear Swap Kit with Truss. The JL version covers 2018+ Wranglers, and the full range is in our complete axle sets collection.
