JL-JT APEX Front Axle ARMOR KIT
Artec Industries introduces the APEX Truss, a revolutionary Axle truss design that brings cost savings, strength, weight reduction, precision fitment, and complete Axle protection. The unique peaked shape top provides extra rigidity and eliminates long weld seams, making it easy to weld and quick to install. The APEX truss extends from end to end of the Axle and is suitable for both extreme applications and daily driving. It’s the ultimate low-cost solution for making your factory Jeep Axle stronger and more reliable. *Please note this kit is NOT for the newer 05 casting. If you have the 05 casting M210, you will need to buy part numbers JL4507, JL4508, and JL4504 to piece together your armor kit with the truss needed for your axle.

Axel Armor Kit

Fit like a glove easy installation and super beefy. For those thinking of just getting the truss at least add the C gussets... you wont be disappointed. Great kit thanks Artec

Great upgrade for the JL

I added this truss kit to my JL Rubicon m210 front axle and it turned out great. The shop I had weld it said it went on well and Im excited to have the extra strength near the FAD section of the axle. Definitely worth doing if you have large tires on your JL

I love the new APEX design. This truss is much stronger than those with flat top sections. Fitment was decent on the 2018 JLU I installed it on. Will recommend this truss in the future.

Good afternoon, my question is if I don't have to buy a specific armor kit for my jeep 392 or is it the same on all JL axles?

A — Staff (Artec Team): Good morning Kevin. You are going to want to buy the following parts for your 392 axles; JL4507 truss, JL4508 c-gussets, JL4504 LCA skids, and JL4502 for the rear truss.
