Artec Industries 1986-2023 Ford F-250 F-350 Sterling 10 1/4 Rear Truss

Artec Industries is known for making well-built, heavy-duty parts for off-road vehicles. This rear axle truss is designed specifically for the Sterling 10 1/4 inch axle found in 1986 through 2023 Ford F-250 and F-350 trucks. If you're pushing your truck hard off-road or carrying heavy loads, the factory axle housing can flex or even bend under stress. This truss adds significant strength to the entire axle assembly, helping to prevent damage and keep you moving.

This truss is made from strong, 3/16 inch thick steel plate that is laser cut for a precise fit. It welds onto the top of your axle housing, creating a solid reinforcement that ties the housing together. This improved rigidity is crucial for maintaining proper gear alignment and preventing axle housing failure, especially when running larger tires or under heavy torque loads. It's a popular upgrade for anyone looking to build a more robust drivetrain for their Ford truck.

When installing this truss, you'll need to have welding capabilities. It's a direct bolt-on application for the axle housing itself, but the reinforcement is achieved through welding. This is a common modification for serious off-roaders and heavy haulers who need their axles to withstand more than stock.
