Artec Industries is excited to announce the JK2TJ Rear Axle Swap Kit. This heavy duty truss and bracket system is designed to take serious abuse and reinforce your entire axle while also providing the factory link, anti-sway bar, and shock locations. The 1/4 inch thick truss top incorporates a unique design to strengthen both the axle and incorporate the link brackets For ease of installation and added strength. By incorporating the link mounts into the truss, hours of work and trial and error can be avoided when compared to other bracket systems. Simply tack weld the truss together, place it on the axle and all the other brackets fit into place exactly where they need to be. The JK rear D44 features: 3-1/8 inch diameter tubes as compared to 2.625 inch D35, disc brakes, bigger spline axle shafts, larger diameter ring gear than D35.
Details:
- Sold as Kit
- The JK D44 axle has a different 5 lug bolt pattern than the factory axle so new wheels will be needed. It is also a wider axle so prepare For the WMS to be wider than your factory axles.
