The last truss I purchased everything went great. The products are great quality. Only issue I have with that is no instructions. Granted I didn’t need them but if someone who is diy a build and learning they would have been stuff. Secondly when I ordered my truss it was in stock. After 6 weeks of waiting I finally got my truss but not all of it. Another 2 weeks later I got the rest. Didn’t even get stickers in the packaging. Like I said the product is great but the communication for shipping is god awful and I will never order a part from there again

It showed up quickly but does not come with instructions and doesn’t fit up great. I won’t purchase anything from Artec again.

This kit makes a difficult swap as easy as it gets. Very good quality parts and easy to follow directions. I used this kit on a dana 50 the fitment was perfect and needed no modifications. Using the dana 50 theres no need to shorten the front driveshaft for anybody asking if this kit works with the dana 50 yes absolutely

Great product

The truss takes out all the guesswork for a 60 swap. Follow the instructions and youll have no trouble. Fitment is very precise. Great product

The kit goes together pretty well. Artec has made it as simple as possible to swap to one ton axles. I havent installed the axle into the Jeep yet but the kit went together well and seems extremely beefy.

Made install sooo easy!

I debated piecing together my own swap kit for my super duty axles to go under my XJ... but then I came to my senses and order this kit and I am glad I did I actually used this on a dana 50. There was a little extra gap on the back of the center section that I had to address but that was no big deal. The truss fitted right up and was a breeze to install. Take your time and follow the welding instructions. I would definitely use this swap truss again.

Taking the guesswork out

This shortcuts a lot of the guesswork and measuring for setting up a superduty axle for my MJ. The kit went together great

How much wider are the lower control arm mounts than factory, and is that total or per side front center of axle ? I’ve read on various websites selling this product that they are around 1.6” wider along with other brand trusses saying similar numbers.

Would this truss work to put this axle in a jk? Just curious because I have this for a Cherokee project that I decided not to do.

What is the difference between the tj6083 and the tj6063?

I see the factory arm can bolt to the top mount. Will factory arms bolt to the lower mounts also or will you need custom lower arms?
