14 bolt APEX Pinion Guard with Bridge
Artec Industries' 14 Bolt Modular Axle Truss is designed for one-ton swaps. Its versatile heavy-duty design reinforces your axle and provides a flat surface to mount your upper links. The 3/8" thick truss top and 1/4" thick gussets are built to withstand serious abuse. The truss is available with add-on leaf or coil spring perches and new high clearance shock mounts. For ultimate protection, we recommend adding the 14 bolt Pinion Guard with bridge, which keeps your vulnerable pinion out of the rocks. Note: the leaf spring option is for SOA, not SUA, and the kit does not include u-bolts.

Perfect fit

Item fit perfectly to the Apex truss should provide plenty of strength to keep the axle tubes from spinning in the housing

i bought this to go with the APEX truss (TR1409) and it works prefect and looks great too VERY heavy duty pinion guard Only thing i would suggest is adding lock washers to the bolts.
