Front axle truss opinion

Weezul · Oct 9, 2020

I'll be starting a build this winter on a new front axle for the TJ. I've got a list of what I know I want but I'm down to trusses. First thought was Artec but TNT has one as well. The TNT has the option to adjust the coil buckets for 1.5" stretch. Artec doesn't but I was planning to modify it so I'd get that stretch. Artec welds to the pumpkin and reuses the stock JK upper arm locations. TNT cuts all that off and doesn't weld to the pumpkin so it allows some adjustment on placement of the truss on the axle. TNT is the obvious price winner. It seems everyone uses Artec when doing swaps though.

Any reason to not go with TNT and save some money?

I built my zj buggy using a ton of their stuff, I used their Dana 30 truss and my zj has held up to 36" tires. Broke a few shafts and split one carrier but that truss has done its job and is beefy.
