Introducing Artec Industries' NEW 14 Bolt BACKBONE Truss, designed to reinforce your entire axle in a forward to backward direction, perfect for driving enthusiasts. The removable center section can be trimmed to fit any differential cover, effortlessly welding to the cover and bolting to the truss sides. Internal gussets ensure optimal load distribution, while the internally pressed-in nuts and button head bolt secure everything in place, offering you a strong and reliable truss system.
Notes : This kit requires general welding and fabrication skills including cutting out the center piece to match your differential cover. May require additional trimming based on additional trusses and other brackets on axle. Welding should only be done by a competent welder.

14 bolt BACKBONE Truss
Ive always been a fan of Artec products and their high quality. This Backbone truss is no different. the fit is perfect and you know that a lot of design went into their products. Really happy with how this is going to reinforce my axle and especially love the mounting platform it gives me for shocks and tabs.

14 bolt BACKBONE Truss
Ordered this backbone truss because my previous 14 bolt had been bent from abuse and because I am on leaf springs a full truss isnt a option do to how low it sits. I did have to cut about 2 inches off each end for it to fit and cutting out the center was also kind of a pain but if you just take the time you can easily get a nice snug fit for a good weld. Overall its a great product. Clean bends good clean metal nutserts are awesome. Would definitely recommend And it looks wicked on a shaved 14 bolt

14 bolt BACKBONE Truss
I bought this back bone for my sterling 9.75. The parts were absolutely beautiful. I had to trim the center section quite a bit to get it over my diff cover but I knew that going in. It was totally worth the time and effort for the strength and functionality that I gained. Great product from some great people. Very helpful on the phone with a lot knowledge about there products and the Offroad world. THANKS GUYS
