APEX Front Super Duty 60 Swap Kit 1999-2004 for Jeep Wrangler JK/JL, Gladiator JT

Artec Industries' APEX Front Superduty Swap Kit is the complete bracket package for running a 1999-2004 Ford Super Duty Dana 60 front axle under a Jeep Wrangler JK, Wrangler JL, or Gladiator JT. Every piece welds to the Super Duty housing and lands the axle on the Jeep's factory coil, link, shock, and sway-bar pickup points, so the finished swap keeps its street manners while carrying the strength 37s and larger demand. Built around the patent-pending APEX truss, the kit gets its rigidity from a peaked-top profile rather than sheer plate mass, keeping the truss near 30 lbs.

Features

• Complete weld-on bracket set for the 1999-2004 Super Duty Dana 60 front
• Patent-pending APEX peaked-top truss resists twist better than a flat-top design
• CNC laser cut in-house from 1/4" and 3/16" mild steel; truss weighs roughly 30 lbs
• CNC bent to locate itself on the axle tubes — no puzzle-piece tacking before welding
• High-clearance differential bridge integrates the upper control-arm mounts
• Coil brackets, bump-stop pads, and shock brackets reuse the factory suspension locations
• Substantially less welding than earlier trusses, so less heat warp and a faster build
• Upper-link options: adjustable 3-link mount, RockJock Johnny Joints, or Daystar bushings

Confirm your donor axle is the 1999-2004 Super Duty casting, plan for a weld-on install by an experienced fabricator, and paint the bare steel afterward. Pair it with the APEX Front SD differential top cap for full coverage over the third member; older kingpin/balljoint 60 donors take the 1985-1997 APEX front swap kit instead. Match the rear axle from our complete axle sets, and finish the job with heavy-duty steering.
