Artec Industries 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JKu Aluminum Long Arm Kit

Crafted from 1/4 inch thick 6061-T6 aluminum, this long arm kit from Artec Industries is built to significantly improve your 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JKU's suspension geometry. When you lift a Jeep, especially for off-road use, the factory control arms become too short, leading to poor caster angles and binding issues. This kit replaces those stock arms with longer, stronger units that allow for better axle positioning and smoother suspension travel. The aluminum construction means you get a strong, well-built component that won't add excessive weight, which is crucial for maintaining your Jeep's performance and handling.

This kit is designed to work with a 4.5-inch lift height, providing the necessary geometry correction for optimal articulation and on-road manners. The long arm design reduces the operating angle of your driveshafts, which can help prevent premature wear and vibration. Artec Industries is known for producing robust components for serious off-road builds, and this long arm kit is no exception. It’s a substantial upgrade for any JKU owner looking to maximize their suspension's potential, whether for rock crawling or high-speed desert running. The kit includes all the necessary brackets and hardware to integrate with your existing axle and frame, making it a comprehensive solution for your suspension needs.

Installing a long arm kit is a significant modification that requires careful attention to detail. While it's designed to be a bolt-on upgrade for the frame and axle mounts, it's a job that benefits from a good understanding of suspension setup and alignment. Ensure you have the proper tools and consider consulting the manufacturer's installation guide for the best results. This kit is a foundational piece for building a highly capable off-road Jeep, allowing for more suspension travel and improved stability over rough terrain.
