Perfect! Well designed

Needed a truss for upper linkage for a 14 bolt axle going under an 80 series landcruiser this is a well designed and simple truss at a decent price. I decided i dont need full width (or more weight) so this was ideal. The thing had perfect gaps for welding and fitment and it looks great. Nice it ties into the axle tube just past the housing as Ive heard of a few 14 bolts spinning axle tube under hard usage this ties it all in. Nice cut out for breather tube as well.

Fits perfect with low profile that gave me 2 more inches of travel. Plus looks awesome.

The apex truss system is changing the game!

This truss was so easy to weld up It was as simple as placing them onto the 14 bolt preheating it up then burning it on The fit and finish are amazing and I wouldnt expect anything else from Artec I look forward in the future to switching it over to a 4 link and taking advantage of this even more

will this truss fit a 1989 cab and chassis 14 bolt

A — Staff (Artec Team): Most likely it will need trimming to fit we have not tested this product on any Pre 1999 14bolt axles which our 3d scans and models are based around the 1999-06 14bolt
