1970-2010 GM HD 14 Bolt Rear Apex Short Truss (ARTTR1409)

This axle truss is designed to reinforce 14 bolt axle housings while providing a rigid, low profile mounting structure for upper link suspension setups. The peaked top design increases strength around the differential while reducing overall weight and weld length, allowing the truss to closely follow the axle casting for improved clearance and more consistent installation results.

Features

• Peaked top truss design for increased rigidity compared to flat top designs
• CNC precision laser cut and bent construction
• Designed using 3D models for accurate fitment and component clearance
• Requires significantly less welding than traditional flat truss designs
• Dimpled holes reduce weight while increasing rigidity and strength
• MIG welder compatible with cast steel differential
• Low profile truss optimized for link joint mounting geometry
• Suitable for installation between leaf springs or as a base for linked suspension mounts
• Two-piece truss design for easier handling and installation
• Formed to strengthen the axle while minimizing component interference
• Manufactured in the USA

Specifications

• Axle type: 14 bolt
• Approximate weight: 13 lbs

Notes

• Truss closely follows axle casting contours and may require minor trimming due to casting variances
• Requires welding and fabrication for installation
• Installation should only be performed by a competent welder
