1 TON - APEX Front Superduty 60 2005+ Differential Top Cap

This heavy duty top cap weld directly to the differential casting for the Super Duty front 60 2005+ axle

to allow mounting of driver side upper control arm brackets. 


Stronger Design, Lighter Weight, Easier Install

A NEW ERA HAS BEGUN WITH THE ARRIVAL OF THE APEX TRUSS! Artec Industries is proud to announce the next generation of PATENT PENDING axle trusses. This series of trusses not only builds on our experience as the world leader in axle truss design, it brings it to a whole new level of cost savings, strength, weight savings, simplicity of installation, precision fitment, and complete axle protection never before seen in the industry.

The key feature that sets the APEX truss apart is its unique peaked shape top which provides extra rigidity to the whole truss while allowing both a reduction in weight (vs using a thicker material top) and eliminating long weld seams. Previous version with long weld seams which can be lead to extra weld warping of the axle, longer install times and can be inconsistent. Without long seams to weld, now you drop the truss directly on to the axle and weld it to the axle faster.


Shown below on kits JL6551 and JL6552. The Top Cap is included in those kits but some may want to buy the Top Cap if they purchased JL6553, in which the Top Cap is not included.

 
IMPORTANT NOTES: 
The Front 60 that works with this kit is from Ford Superduty F-250 and F-350 trucks from model years 2005+ (coil spring). This truss is not intended for older axles due to different differential offsets. 

Only works with Front APEX Truss JL6500 which is in kits JL6551, JL6552, or JL6553. Uses JL6500 UCA brackets for mounting bushings or Johnny Joints.

Trimming of the factory differential casting will be necessary (see instructions). Other fabrication and modifications may be needed due to variances in lift kits and other factors. Some versions of this axle have a hump on top of the differential which may need to be ground down. Test Top Cap on diff first and if it doesn't sit flush on the edges, check for casting protrusions


 

Features include:

  • PATENT PENDING APEX Truss peaked top design provides more rigidity than a flat top truss design 
  • CNC Precision Laser cut in-house from 1/4" mild steel for a strong solution
  • CNC Precision Bent in-house for a great fitment. Literally drop the Top Cap in place on the axle and it's ready to weld. No puzzle piece assembling*
  • Designed used 3D models directly from Ford and Jeep for not only an amazing fit but clearances with surrounding components
  • 70% less welding needed than previous truss designs means less warping, faster turnaround, and lower costs
  • All long seams are bent so you don't need to spend time welding them together
  • Contours the cast steel differential and can be welded with normal MIG welder and moderate pre-heating and post-heating**
  • OEM location Upper Control Arms jig holes on Top Cap
  • Overall low profile design means your axle is stronger, sleeker, easier to fit into any vehicle, and less likely to interfere with vehicle components.***

NOTE: This kit requires general welding and fabrication skills. Welding should only be done by a competent welder who understand different materials. Some welding of cast and mild steel will be used. 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.

**Some versions of this axle have a hump on top of the differential which may need to be ground down. Test Top Cap on diff first and if it doesn't sit flush on the edges, check for casting protrusions.

 *** In rare and extreme cases, the truss may come into contact with oil pan. Prior to operating the vehicle, remove the coil springs, cycle the suspension including full compression of both sides simultaneously and add bumpstop extensions to prevent damage to oil pan.

Must buy. Flattering and comfortable
Size: 8, Color: Classic Medium Wash
Great fit! These jeans are the most comfortable jeans I have purchased in years. Fabric is soft and has some stretch so my the end of the day you are not feeling like a sausage. The cut is very flattering and the quality is better than many of the more expensive jeans on the market.

Great jeans for this price!
I was hesitant to buy jeans on Amazon but I thought I'd give these a try since I've had trouble finding a boot cut jeans that I liked. I ordered my true size 29" waist, size 8 regular length and they fit true to size for me. I'm 5'3" so I have to wear about a 1" heel, which I like for a boot cut. They have a decent amount of stretch (but not too much) so they are very comfortable. Wearing these with heels makes my legs look nice and long so they are really flattering. Mine are dark blue rinse and I'm going to buy another pair in black because I like these so much! Good job, Amazon

Polyester in the jeans
I did not take a photo in these jeans because I did not intend to keep them, however, they do fit very well. They are true to size and great for tall women. However, the reason why I removed two stars and the reason why I did not keep them is the fabric content. There is a new development in denim these days where brands are changing the fiber content of denim to create a more inexpensive fabric. I do not agree with this and will not keep a pair of jeans that have polyester in them. Jeans have always been 100% cotton since the beginning of time. Now we have added spandex to them so that they stretch a little bit, which is great. So, your jeans should all be 98% cotton with 2% spandex, if they have spandex in them. If not, they should be 100% cotton. If you find a pair of jeans and look at the fiber content, and they have added in polyester, run. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I live in a very warm climate in South Florida. I cannot and will not wear jeans that have polyester in them. It makes them itchy, scratchy, and hot. I could tell immediately when I tried these on that they had polyester in them, and I immediately took them off and put them back in the bag for the return pile. I highly suggest that Amazon rework the fiber content on these jeans and charge just a little bit more because I’d rather pay five more dollars and have the jeans with no polyester in them. Aside from that, they are great jeans, but they are a little bit stiff. I don’t know what they would be like after one wash because I did not keep them.

Very comfortable and stylish
So difficult to find a pair of well fitting jeans that are comfortable and look good. Stretchy in all the right places. Waistband comfortable with a good fit. Length is exactly what I was looking for, not too short and not too long. Bought two additional pairs.
