Artec Industries is proud to announce the next generation of PATENT PENDING axle trusses. This series of trusses not only builds on our experience as the world leader in axle truss design, it brings it to a whole new level of cost savings, strength, weight savings, simplicity of installation, precision fitment, and complete axle protection never before seen in the industry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"left\" style='box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-shadow: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; border: 0px; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(56, 55, 51); font-family: \"open sans\", sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);'\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-shadow: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv align=\"left\" style='box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-shadow: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(56, 55, 51); font-family: \"open sans\", sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);'\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eThe key feature that sets the APEX truss apart is its unique peaked shape top which provides extra rigidity to the whole truss while allowing both a reduction in weight (vs using a thicker material top) and eliminating long weld seams. Previous version with long weld seams which can be lead to extra weld warping of the axle, longer install times and can be inconsistent. Without long seams to weld, now you drop the truss directly on to the axle and weld it to the axle faster.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv align=\"left\" style='box-sizing: border-box; -webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; text-shadow: none; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(56, 55, 51); font-family: \"open sans\", sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);'\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"\u003eThis Truss is the heart of the APEX 1 ton swap kits for JK, JL, and JT and allows not improves rigidity and strength to the axle around the differential, it allows for mounting upper links over the differential if desired.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThis truss fits most 14 bolt axles from Chevy\/GMC trucks.
