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

The APEX Rear Sterling Truss Swap Kit supplies the peaked-top truss plus the complete bracket set to weld a Ford Super Duty Sterling 10.5 rear axle under a Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018). The Sterling is a proven one-ton rear that shows up cheap in truck yards, and this kit locates its coil, link, shock, and sway bar mounts to the JK's factory geometry — sparing you hours of measuring and fixturing. It is aimed at JK builds where 37s-and-bigger tires have outgrown the factory rear axle.

Features

• CNC laser cut in-house from 1/4" and 3/16" mild steel
• Patent-pending APEX peaked-top truss carries more rigidity than a flat-top design
• Dimpled holes reduce weight while stiffening the structure
• 3/16" truss deck locates the link mounts for correct upper and lower bracket alignment
• Coil brackets, bumpstop pads, and trackbar mounting worked into the truss
• CNC-bent seams cut welding by roughly 70% versus older trusses for less warp
• Made in USA at Artec's North Salt Lake, Utah shop

This kit is specific to the Sterling 10.5 housing, so confirm your donor before ordering; it is a weld-on conversion that should be handled by an experienced welder using preheat and alternating passes. Have a GM 14 bolt instead? Order the JK APEX Rear 14 Bolt Truss Swap Kit. For a tube-based bracket approach that fits either housing, look at the JK APEX Rear Axle Swap Brackets, and see every one-ton package in our complete axle sets collection.
