Swap an Explorer 8.8 axle into TJ and eliminate the tracbar

Artec Industries is excited to announce the Triangulated TJ 8.8 Axle Swap Kit. This heavy duty 1/4" truss is designed to take serious abuse and reinforce your entire axle. The accompanying brackets provide the OEM coil, anti-sway bar, lower control arm and shock locations, but triangulate the upper control arms which eliminates the need for a tracbar. He also offer this kit with a HIGH CLEARANCE option that raises the LCA and shock brackets above the bottom of the axle tube.
 
The Ford Explorer 8.8 features: same lug nut bolt pattern as dana 35, 3-1/4" diameter tubes as compared to 2.625" dana 35, disc brakes (1995 & newer), 31 spline axle shafts, 8.8" diameter ring gear which 120% stronger than dana 35, only 20 pounds more than dana 35, and a trac-loc differential stock. When swapping, the 3.73 gear ratio may need to be changed to match your Jeep gears and wheel spacers may be necessary to bring the width back to factory specs since the 8.8 is 1.25" narrower than the dana 35.

NOTE: This kit is a compilation of some of our existing brackets that are sold both individually and with other kits. Some slight modification may be necessary to the brackets for use with the 8.8 axle and the 8.8 Modular truss. See below for a list of parts and what may need minor trimming.
 

Features include:

  • 1/4" thick mild steel truss and brackets for much higher strength than the factory bracket and other aftermarket brackets. Precision CNC cut and bent for great fitment.*
  • Includes all the brackets necessary for a complete axle swap including upper and lower control arm mounts, shock mounts, anti-sway bar mounts, and coil spring mounts.
  • Eliminates the tracbar by using triangulated upper control arms. Not for use with OEM control arms. New upper links and frame side brackets will be needed.*
  • Save hours of installation time. Outer brackets just need to line up to truss, no guessing and measuring involved.
  • Truss Upper Link Mount width - 2.63" for 1.25" rod end kit or other large joints.
  • High-Clearance option provides flat LCA brackets and shock mounts to reduce rock damage. Not for use with OEM control arms.
  • High-Clearance Shock mounts flip bolt orientation to perpendicular to axle tube providing more rotation without binding. Upper shock mount relocation may be necessary.
  • Truss is reinforced using interlocked 1/4 thick gussets for maximum strength and easy assembly.
  • Overall low profile design means your axle is stronger, sleaker, easier to fit into any vehicle, and less likely to interfere with vehicle components.
  • Truss includes Pinion Bridge for added strength. Bridge needs to be trimmed depending on pinion angle chosen.
What's included:
  • TR8803 8.8 Modular Truss
  • BR1033 Rear TJ coil Perches and retainers (pair)
  • TJ8802 TJ 8.8 Swap kit Sway Bar Brackets (Pair)*
  • Truss Upper Link Mount - BR1044
  • OPTION - Choose 1 of the following for LCA brackets and Shock mounts
    • OEM position - TJ8804 Shock Mounts and TJ8805 LCA Brackets
    • High Clearance - BR1049 Shock Mounts* and BR1011 LCA Brackets*
NOTE: This kit requires general welding and fabrication skills. Welding should only be done by a competent welder. Artec Industries implies no guarantees or warranties and is not liable for improper installation.
*Some grinding and fitment may be required when installing this kit. Every axle varies slightly and some fabrication may be required. Will require brake line relocation to fit.

Worth every penny.
Size: 2'6" x 5', Color: Black
It has been my experience that this rug and this company is fabulous if you need or if you want something that’s rich well-made well thought of sheepskin rug you can’t go wrong with this company they take pride in their work I mean by this if you want a sheepskin rug buy from this company. This was the one that I bought and I cannot tell you how gorgeous it is. It saves money because it costs money when you buy cheap you buy twice you buy this. You can forget about it. That’s how good it is.. The weight is perfect. The color is rich and the price there is really no price for something. That is excellent because I’ve been looking around for rugs like this for different creations and decorative tableau and there’s a lot of junk out there..

Not as pictured, but ...
Buyers should note that the advertised photo shows a white rug with gray tips, but the rug I received has a lot of yellow in. Despite the difference, I've decided to keep it because it is a beautiful rug and very soft.

This rug is a fabulous quality for the price!! Thick, soft, great looking. They ship it with a brush and a storage bag... highly impressed. This is my 3rd fur shag from this company. I have 2 cream ones in my master. Im going to order a black one too, just to change it up. Zero smell, functional, nice size, durable... im in love!! It would look very cool on a chair, the back of a couch next to the FP, or even on a bed.... authentically pleasing for sure.

Absolutely gorgeous! Quality is excellent. I purchased three prior to this from different companies, and returned them. Finally came across this company and truly love the texture and look. This pelt is real sheepskin, NOT felt backing like some. The real deal.
