1-Ton APEX Front Super Duty Swap Kit 2005+ for Jeep Wrangler JK JL & Gladiator JT

The 1-Ton APEX Front Super Duty Swap Kit carries the peaked-top truss and every bracket needed to put a 2005-and-newer Ford Super Duty front Dana 60 under a Jeep Wrangler JK (2007-2018), Wrangler JL (2018+), or Gladiator JT (2020+). Factory-class front axles give up under 40" tires; the Super 60 brings the knuckles, unit bearings, and shaft strength to take the abuse, and this kit turns a junkyard or aftermarket housing into a Jeep-ready axle. Three upper-link configurations let you match the kit to a retained factory geometry or a custom 3-link.

Features

• Patent-pending APEX truss with a peaked top for greater rigidity than a flat-top design
• CNC laser cut in-house from 1/4" and 3/16" mild steel
• Dimpled holes trim weight while adding stiffness
• Modeled from Ford and Jeep 3D data for correct clearance to driveline and suspension
• CNC-bent seams cut welding by roughly 70% versus older trusses — less warp, faster install
• Choice of upper-link interface: adjustable truss mount for 3-link, RockJock Johnny Joints, or Daystar bushings in the factory location
• Includes coil bucket reinforcement, bumpstop pads, shock brackets, and lower link mounts
• Made in USA in Utah

This kit is specific to the 2005+ Super Duty knuckle and casting — 1999-2004 donors need the earlier version, so verify your axle year first. The truss and brackets weld to a housing that is cast in places; preheat cast sections and weld in stages. You still supply the axle, links, coils, shocks, steering, and gears. Pair it with the APEX Front SD Differential Top Cap 2005+ for the driver-side upper mount, and match it to a rear like the JL APEX Rear Sterling Truss Swap Kit.
