JK2TJ Rear Axle Swap Kit with Truss for Jeep Wrangler TJ & LJ 1997-2006

The JK2TJ Rear Axle Swap Kit puts a factory JK rear Dana 44 under a 1997-2006 Wrangler TJ or LJ while keeping the stock four-link suspension layout. The TJ's Dana 35 is the usual casualty of bigger tires, and the JK Dana 44 is the natural upgrade — this kit re-establishes the factory link, sway bar, track bar, and shock positions on the JK housing so your existing suspension bolts straight up. A full-length truss with interlocked gussets reinforces the housing at the same time, so the new axle goes in stronger than it came out of the donor.

Features

• 1/4" mild steel truss and brackets, precision CNC cut and bent
• Every bracket for the swap: upper and lower control arm mounts, shock mounts, sway bar mounts, track bar mount, and coil spring mounts
• Brackets jig into the truss and set their own position — no measuring off the housing
• Track bar mount includes a factory location plus a raised location for lifted rigs
• Interlocked 1/4" gussets stiffen the truss and speed assembly
• Low-profile design tucks the truss in tight for component clearance
• Ships bare steel — prime and paint at install

This kit works with the factory-style four-link rear, so measure nothing and keep your arms — just source a JK rear Dana 44 (2007-2018) and plan on welding the kit to the housing. Doing both ends? Add the JK2TJ Front Axle Swap Kit with Truss for a matched conversion, or delete the rear track bar with the JK2TJ Triangulated Swap Kit. See all our swap bracket packages in complete axle sets.
