Artec Industries 1995-2001 Ford / Mercury Explorer Mountaineer 8.8 Modular Truss

This is the Artec Industries 8.8 Modular Truss, designed specifically for the 1995 through 2001 Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer models equipped with the 8.8-inch axle. This truss is built to reinforce the axle housing, adding significant strength and rigidity to handle the stresses of off-road use or heavier loads.

Constructed from well-built steel, this truss is designed to be welded onto your existing axle housing. The modular design allows for a precise fit and provides multiple contact points, distributing stress more evenly across the housing. This improved structural integrity helps prevent bending or cracking of the axle housing under demanding conditions, which is a common concern for these vehicles when modified or used extensively off-pavement.

When installing this truss, you'll want to ensure you have the proper welding equipment and experience. It's a direct reinforcement for the axle housing, and proper welding is crucial for its effectiveness and longevity. This part is a solid option for anyone looking to strengthen their Explorer or Mountaineer's rear axle.
