Triangulated GM 14-Bolt 1-Ton Swap Kit with Truss for Jeep Wrangler TJ 1997-2006

This kit hangs a GM 14-bolt one-ton rear axle under a 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ on a triangulated four-link. When 37s and repeated hard hits have moved past what any half-ton axle tolerates, the 14-bolt is the standard answer, and this bracket set locates it with triangulated upper links instead of a track bar — removing the bind and failure points of the factory layout. Thick 3/8" trussing across the top ties the housing together so the whole assembly takes abuse as a unit. It is aimed at TJ builders committed to a true one-ton rear, not a mild upgrade.

Features

• 3/8" thick truss top with 1/4" gussets and 1/4" brackets, precision CNC cut and bent
• Complete bracket set: upper and lower control arm mounts, shock mounts, and coil spring mounts
• Triangulated upper control arms delete the track bar for stronger, cleaner rear geometry
• Outer brackets self-locate to the truss — no measuring during fit-up
• 2.63" upper link mount width accepts a 1.25" rod end kit or other large joints
• High Clearance option flattens the lower link brackets and shock mounts against rock strikes
• Made in the USA

Two cautions before ordering: OEM control arms cannot be used — the triangulated design needs new upper links and frame-side brackets — and the 14-bolt's large third member will not clear a factory TJ sway bar, so budget for an aftermarket rear bar since factory-style sway bar mounts are not included. Install is weld-on and needs real fabrication skill. Running a Ford donor instead? See the Triangulated TJ Sterling 1-Ton Swap Kit.
