TJ 8.8 Swap Kit with Truss Reviews

5 Rating 48 Reviews
First of all the kit is great For the most part everything fit very well and dropped in place as intended. I tweaked mine in a couple of places that couldshould be added to the standard kit - A intermediate trac bar hole should be added between the lifted and stock locations Shock brackets should be redesigned a bit and rotated further back. The tubes hit the coil buckets in the suggested location (if you arent running monotube shocks upside down) and the OD of the mounting hole area was too big to accomodate the shock tube (required trimming). The instructions should have a note about welding on the inside of the passenger side UCA and Track Bar brackets...excess weld height causes interference during assembly (very tight fit) Without a doubt I would recommend this kit

This was a very easy install. if you can read a angle finder and can weld this set up is the way to go. Even if your not good at welding but can tack weld all the pieces together then have someone else do the welding that would be great. The only issue I had was the shock mounts were bent too tight I had to open them up a little so it would receive the shock. I would recommend this product .

Although it will be some time before I collect all of the components I need to complete the installation of this product...I have taken a look at the product itself and it is a heavy duty and quality product. Love how everything is notched to take the guess work and measuring out of the process of installing all the parts.

This product rocks All of the engineering is spot on the instructions were amazing I have been building my jeep for about two years and in all of the parts components purchased the instructions with this kit were by far the easiest to understand I will definately look to ARTEC for additional products 100% first class service and quality

This is the best kit out there for swapping the popular 8.8 rear axle into your Jeep. While its slightly more labor intensive than the description makes it sound it goes together very smoothly and trouble free without all of the measuring and second-guessing involved in traditional bracket kits. Highly recommend this kit
