Artec Industries is a U.S.-based performance and off-road gear manufacturer that specializes in rugged, precision-engineered components for trucks, SUVs and recreational off-road vehicles. From their base in North Salt Lake, Utah, the company designs and produces a broad range of products. Known for combining innovation with craftsmanship, Artec's offerings are built with an emphasis on structural integrity, fit, and durability. Their "In Artec We Truss" reputation reflects both the technical strength of their builds and their standing among off-road communities.
This heavy duty and light weight truss system is designed to take serious abuse and reinforce your front 30 or 44 TJ/LJ axle. The 1/4 inch thick truss top and 10Ga. gusseting incorporates a unique design to strengthen both axle tubes, not just the long tube. The precision cut and formed components of this setup ensure a hassle-free installation. Not only do we offer a truss, but you can also get a Complete Polyurethane Bushing Replacement For your upper control arms, or you can even upgrade to Currie Johnny Joints.
