JL/JT to TJ APEX Front Swap Kit Brackets for Jeep Wrangler TJ 1997-2006
Artec's JL/JT to TJ APEX Front Swap Kit Brackets graft a Dana M210 front axle from a Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT into a Jeep Wrangler TJ or LJ — with a truss doing the heavy lifting. Where a basic swap relies on individual stand-alone brackets, this APEX set integrates an axle truss with new coil buckets and control-arm mounts formed to TJ/LJ geometry, tying the whole housing together against tube flex. For a TJ headed to bigger tires and harder hits, that means the stronger modern axle goes in already braced instead of trussed as an afterthought. Heavy-duty steel throughout, 3D-engineered from Dana Corp/SPICER and OEM axle data, and made in the USA.
Features
- APEX bracket set with integrated axle truss for the JL/JT Dana M210 front housing
- New coil buckets and control-arm/link mounts formed to TJ/LJ suspension geometry
- Truss reinforces the axle tubes against bending under larger tires and impacts
- Heavy-duty steel, weld-on construction for permanent strength
- 3D-engineered from Dana Corp/SPICER and OEM data for fit and clearance
- Made in the USA
Fits the Dana M210 front axle from a Wrangler JL (2018+) or Gladiator JT (2020+) going under a TJ (1997-2006) or LJ (2004-2006); the truss and brackets weld to the housing, so this is a fabrication-level install and the bare steel needs paint afterward. Complete the frame side with the TJ front frame coil buckets (1-ton offset) and match the rear with the JT/JL to TJ rear swap kit. See all complete axle sets and axle reinforcements.
JL/JT to TJ APEX Front Swap Kit Brackets for Jeep Wrangler TJ 1997-2006 FAQs
What makes the APEX version different from the standard swap brackets?
The APEX set integrates an axle truss with the coil buckets and link mounts, so the M210 housing gets braced against tube flex as part of the swap. A standard bracket set locates the axle but leaves the tubes untrussed — if you plan on larger tires or hard use, the APEX approach builds the strength in from the start.
Which axle and which Jeep does this kit cover?
It adapts the Dana M210 front axle from a Jeep Wrangler JL (2018+) or Gladiator JT (2020+) to fit under a Wrangler TJ (1997-2006) or Unlimited LJ (2004-2006). The brackets are formed to TJ/LJ suspension geometry, so the modern axle works with your factory-style links and coils.
Do I need anything else to finish the front swap?
Welding is required — the truss and brackets weld to the housing, so plan on a fabrication-level install. Because the JL/JT axle is wider than stock, most builds also add frame-side coil buckets with a 1-ton offset, and the parts ship as bare steel that needs paint after welding.
