SKU TJ3011, the ones with the guid plates for alignment. I purchased these even though there going on with CORE4X4 adjustable control arms. CORE arms are set up for factory style lower control arm brackets and they recommended these brackets when asked what was going to work best. SKU TJ3011 for our 03 WRANGLER TJ 4.0 5spd with DANA 30 up front. Laser etching for alignment plate installation on the brackets makes them easy to welding on in position. The brackets fit onto the differential tube flawlessly and are a snap to get into position for welding. My MILLER 140 with .035 wire handled the job with no trouble. These are heavy duty brackets with plenty of protection for the control arm ends. They are not going to colaps or bend like the factory brackets or the light duty less expensive replacement brackets out there.

Installer said he has never seen brackets this well made. Artec continued success
Second set I have bought (2 different axles) these are the best on the market Way stronger than stock mounts
Happy Camper
Had to upgrade from the stock brackets after a trip to Moab where I completely tore off one and cracked the other. Since I have purchased a few items from Artech I decided to go with them again. Could not be happier These brackets are much thicker than stock and weld right in. I was not sure what control arm I was going to upgrade to so I went with the horseshoe designed for easy alignments. Brackets were welded in with no issues and then the horseshoes were welded where they needed to be. Installed new control arms and the TJ was aligned with no issues. I do not think I will need to worry about these parts for a long time
Customer
Bent and broke lower control arm brackets (2004 tj rubicon) on a boulder trail at Beasley Knob Ga. The new heavy duty Artec brackets are twice as thick as the stock ones ( 14 ) and installed perfectly. Great product I would highly recommend.
TJ owner
OMG I cant say enough good things about these brackets. I had bent my one of my others brackets which had already been upgraded from factory. These brackets are thicker and heavier and you can immediately tell the difference when driving. I see no future problems. Thanks for such a great product.

I finally got the chance to weld these brackets to my axle replacing my trashed factory LCA mounts. They fit my Johnny joints perfectly and work with a factory style cam bolt (I used procomp 20-65226). They come entirely unwelded and I was concerned that it would be hard to locate the cam guides but there is a clear witness mark so I welded them on prior to welding the brackets to the axle. These brackets are very well designed and look to be a much better option than others on the market especially considering the built in skid plates to protect my expensive long arms.
General
Lower control arm brackets fitment is great and are easy to position on the axle whether it is in the jeep or out of it.
I see it says fits Dana 30/44 what about Dana 35
Do these brackets work with stock cherokee control arms? I'm unsure due to the slotted bolt holes. If not, is there another version for stock control arms?
A — Staff (Artec Team): The TJ3011 Lower control arm bracket will work for OEM or Fixed (Non- Adjustable ) Aftermarket lowers, It will have a horseshoe on the mount and slotted hole so the eccentric cam bolts can pitch the axle to the proper location for alignment .
What is the point of the slotted/horshoe CAM hole version and how does it work?
A — Staff (Artec Team): Fixed control arms use the slot to allow for adjustment to allow alignment to be performed. You should use this version if your control arms are of this style only.
Will this bracket work on a 2001 Dodge 1500 Ram 4 wheel drive?
A — Staff (Artec Team): This is intended for a Jeep Wrangler from 1997-2006. I do not believe it will be useful on a Dodge Ram in a stock style suspension...only if you are doing something totally custom.
what is the proper position ?
A — Staff (Artec Team): Refer to picture 4 above, which has the mounting directions.
I see the TJ3012 for front lower control arm mount but what model #for rear lower control arm on 2000 TJ-4.0engine ??.
A — Staff (Artec Team): The TJ8805 lowers found here: http://www.artecindustries.com/TJ_Lower_Link_Brackets
what is the size of the normal hole option ?
A — Staff (Artec Team): Bolt hole is 1/2", but there is plenty of beef on the mount so that it can be enlarged up to 3/4".
Excellent
