Artec Industries is excited to announce the TJ 1 Ton Axle Swap Kit For front 60 axles. This heavy duty truss and bracket system is designed to take serious abuse and reinforce your entire axle while also providing control arm, spring, anti-sway bar, and shock mounting locations. The 3/8 inch and 1/4 inch thick truss incorporates a unique design to strengthen both the axle and incorporate the link brackets For ease of installation and added strength. By incorporating the link mounts into the truss, hours of work and trial and error can be avoided when compared to other bracket systems. Simply tack weld the truss together, place it on the axle and all the other brackets fit into place exactly where they need to be.
Details:

  • Sold as Kit
  • UCA mount Style: Adjustable Truss Upper Link Mount single For 3 link
  • The Front 60 axles that work with this Kit is from F-350 trucks from model years 85-91.5 (kingpin) and 92-97 (ball joint).
  • This truss is NOT For the 78-79 kingpin or 99 plus Superduty axles due to different differential offsets.
  • Fabrication and modifications may be needed due to variances Inch lift Kits and other factors.
  • Minimum of 4 inch lift required to run this Kit with likely modifications. 5 plus inches recommended.
  • Due to the larger casting and offset on the 60 differential, many of the components are Inch slightly different locations than the factory positions.
  • Note the following location differences from stock: Lower Control Arm (LCA) brackets are wider than factory location.
  • Modifications to your Lower Control Arms or frame side LCA brackets will likely be necessary.
  • If you have adjustable long arms with flexible Style joints (heims, Johnny Joints, etc) on both sides, modifications may not be necessary
  • Upper Control Arm (UCA) brackets are 3 inches higher than factory so adjustable arms may be necessary.
  • Not compatible with Radius Arm or Wristed Y-link Style suspensions.
  • The coil spring perches are 1.6 inches wider per side than factory.
  • The coil springs may bow slightly once installed.
  • The shock mounts are 1.6 inches wider per side than stock to match the coil perches.
  • The axle side shock brackets eliminate the bar pin and uses a normal .5 inch bolt.
  • Swaybar bracket hole location is approximately 2.5 inch higher than stock.
  • Modifications to Swaybar may be necessary.
  • Steering will completely change and new tie rod and draglink will be necessary.
  • Changes to exhaust may be necessary if using 3-link Style UCA bracket.
  • Modified or new tracbar will be required to allow proper steering geometry.
  • Current factory and aftermarket tracbars are too long.
  • 60 axles are 8x6.5 inch pattern and Do not match the factory Jeep 5 lug wheel bolt pattern.
  • New wheels will need to be purchased to do this swap. Brake and Steering components not included Inch this product.
  • This will require bumpstop extensions and a new tracbar since the steering is different on this axle from factory axle.
  • The tracbar bracket is higher than stock location to allow proper steering geometry.
  • 3/8 inch and 1/4 inch thick mild steel truss and 3/16 inch coil brackets For much higher strength than the factory bracket and other aftermarket brackets.
  • Precision CNC cut and bent For great fitment.
  • Includes all the brackets necessary For a complete axle swap including upper and lower control arm mounts, shock mounts, anti-sway bar mounts, tracbar mount, and coil spring mounts.
  • Save hours of installation time. Brackets are jigged into truss and set exact position automatically.
  • All other brackets just need to line up to truss, no guessing and measuring involved.
  • Easily upgradeable For future link geometry changes. Just trim off factory location upper control mounts and weld on a new centered link mount.
  • Truss is reinforced using interlocked 1/4 thick gussets For maximum strength and easy assembly.
  • Overall low profile design means your axle is stronger, sleaker, easier to fit into any vehicle, and less likely to interfere with vehicle components.
  • This Kit requires general welding and fabrication skills.
  • Welding should only be done by a competent welder who understand different materials.
  • Some welding of cast and mild steel will be used. Artec Industries implies no guarantees or warranties and is not liable For improper installation.
  • Some grinding and fitment may be required when installing this Kit.
