HD Crossmember with Link Mounts for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018
The Artec Industries JK HD Crossmember with Link Mounts replaces the thin factory transmission crossmember on a Jeep Wrangler JK with formed 1/4" steel — and builds the rear suspension link mounts straight into it. For long-arm and custom link builds, that solves two problems with one part: the flexy stock crossmember goes away, and the new link anchors land on a structure actually built to take suspension loads. Modeled from factory CAD data, it bolts into the stock location.
Features
- 1/4" steel construction, far stronger than the factory stamping
- Integrated link mounts for long-arm and custom rear link setups
- Designed from factory CAD files for precise fitment with stock components
- Bolt-in installation using 3/8" captive nuts and bolts
- CNC laser cut and CNC formed, shipped pre-welded
- Pressed-in nuts allow easy one-tool removal
- Ships unpainted for easy custom finishing and touch-up
Fits the Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU 2007-2018 in two versions matching the factory crossmember change — order 2007-2011 or 2012-2018 for your model year, and note that exhaust modifications may be necessary on some setups. It arrives bare, so paint or powder coat it before install. Not running links? The plain JK HD Crossmember skips the mounts, and the JK Protection Package bundles a crossmember with the bellypan. Pair link mounts with a 2" bushing kit, or browse all crossmembers.
HD Crossmember with Link Mounts for Jeep Wrangler JK 2007-2018 FAQs
Which year version do I order?
Jeep changed the JK's transmission crossmember partway through the run, so Artec offers 2007-2011 and 2012-2018 versions. Order the one matching your model year — they are not interchangeable.
Does it bolt in or need welding?
It bolts straight into the factory crossmember location using 3/8" captive nuts and bolts, and it ships pre-welded so there is no fabrication. Note that exhaust modifications may be necessary on some setups, and the pressed-in nuts allow one-tool removal later.
Do I need the link mounts?
Only if your build adds rear suspension links — the integrated mounts give a long-arm or custom link setup a strong anchor at the belly. If you just want a stronger crossmember for protection, the standard JK HD Crossmember without link mounts costs less and installs the same way.
