This heavy duty truss system is designed to take serious abuse and reinforce your axle while also providing a flat surface to mount your upper links. The 1\/4\" thick truss incorporates a unique design to strengthen both the axle and the link mounting surface.\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 is available by itself, or you can add-on our optional leaf spring perches designed for use with a YJ Wrangler (Spring Over AXLE or SOA), XJ Cherokee, or coil spring perches designed for rear TJ Wrangler coil springs. If using for a YJ with leafs, simply choose the YJ leaf perches option, choose XJ leaf perches for Cherokees. If using in a TJ, choose coil perches as well as your upper link mount size and lower link mount angle. In either case, we also offer our new high clearance shock mounts as well. These place the lower shock mounts either in front or behind the axle in the lowest mounting position possible without giving up ground clearance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe truss includes a bridge that ties into a flange off the pinion of the axle. This bridge is intended to be trimmed to fit depending on what pinion you set fo the top of the truss. By tying it into the pinion, it reinforces the strength of the whole truss.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv align=\"left\"\u003eIf you are also purchasing one of our 4-link kits with this truss, CHOOSE NONE for the Lower axle link brackets and Truss upper link mounts.
