TJ 8.8 Swap Kit with Truss Reviews

5 Rating 49 Reviews
I purchased this for my grandson who is in the Navy. I installed the kit on a 8.8 Ford here in Indiana then drove to Norfolk Virginia to install it in his TJ. Everything fit perfect with no additional modifications. This kit is awesome and looks very impressive. We have not installed the Slip Yoke Eliminator kit yet so we had to cut 1 from the transfer case output shaft and 1 from the driveshaft yoke. It has a vibration from 30 to 40 mph so hopefully the SYI kit will fix that.

Truss kit quality was excellent all pieces were precision cut as advertised. Instruction sheet was detailed enough and the photos on it were helpful. Nice product for an axle swap

I originally plasma the stock hangers and spring pads off my tj and welded them on a d44 I then decided to go wiith a ford 8.8 the d44 was sold plus I did not want to re-plaz the stock hangers again so I purchased the truss kit for the 8.8 wow such a better way to do this swap all parts are awesome to work with they fit just right for welding allowing cjp on areas welded with out grinding. Ill recomend this company and its products.

The kit was sent promptly to me and was fun to weld together. Looks great under jeep. Finding the angles the brackets needed was a small challenge but we got it installed in decent time. Thanks Artec

Great kit fairly simple The only thing that would make this kit any better would be a brake line kit or at least a parts list to use to fab the lines.

Researched serveral mount kits for a ford 8.8 to jeep conversions Artec system was fantastic it construction was clean cut fit well and structurally sound. My son is a welder and he was very pleased with the kit and its assembly. We would buy again.

One of the best aftermarket products I have ever installed And I install a lot of parts owning Milan Motorsports. Very high quality and fit (didnt have to modifygrind any parts for this installation). Basically removed the factory Explorer rear end brackets put the new brackets on in their proper location and welded. Every part is labeled and the instructions a very easy to understand.
