Product Description

The **Artec TR1406 14-Bolt Rear Short Truss** is designed to provide durable reinforcement for Chevy and GMC 14-bolt rear axles. Its 3/8" steel top plate and 1/4" gussets deliver solid support for upper control links while strengthening the axle housing.

The low-profile design allows link joints to mount roughly 9" above the axle centerline, maintaining proper suspension geometry. This versatile truss can be used with leaf springs or as a base for full link setups, making it ideal for off-road or heavy-duty applications.

Weld-in installation is required, and minor trimming may be necessary for certain axle castings. Once installed, the TR1406 significantly enhances the structural integrity and durability of the rear axle for demanding builds.
