Artec Industries 97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ 14 Bolt Swap Kit w/ Truss - 2.63 In / High Clearance

This kit from Artec Industries gives you everything you need to swap a Dana 60 14-bolt axle into your 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ. Inside the box, you'll find a high-clearance truss designed to reinforce the axle housing, along with all the necessary brackets and hardware to complete the installation. This swap is popular for Jeep owners looking to significantly upgrade their axle strength and durability, especially for off-road use.

The truss is constructed from 1/4-inch thick steel, providing a solid foundation to strengthen the axle housing against the stresses of larger tires and aggressive terrain. It's designed with a 2.63-inch high-clearance profile, meaning it tucks up nicely to minimize the chance of snagging on rocks or obstacles. The kit includes precisely cut brackets for components like control arms and track bars, ensuring proper geometry and alignment after the swap. Artec Industries is known for making well-built components that fit right, and this kit is no exception, simplifying a complex axle swap project.

When undertaking a Dana 60 swap, it's important to plan for other supporting modifications. You'll need to consider brake lines, driveshafts, and potentially re-gearing the axle to match your Jeep's intended use. This kit focuses on the structural reinforcement and mounting points, giving you a strong base to build upon for a robust drivetrain.
