Hi Marwan and anyone else who can answer these questions (Yes Chafiq, I'm looking at you ) ,

First of all, thank you for your continuous efforts in providing our community with great offers and probably even more importantly excellent & friendly service

My questions:

1) This kit doesn't come with an inner sleeve right ? Do we even need an inner sleeve with it and if so do you have an inner sleeve to compliment this kit?

1. in some cases I recommend this truss: e.g. with suspension lifts where the already mounted bump stop extensions "cover" for the truss' potential to hit something under compression.

2. in some other cases you might loose precious uptravel capabilities of your suspension:
e.g. if you have stock suspension and stock bump stops ... the truss needs eventually bump stop extensions ... how much?
(still ... has to be verified!!! but my guts feeling)

2) I have the teraflex 2.5" with the bump stop extensions they provide, will I be ok with that?

I assume that for the guys with lifts you'll be getting the Factory Height Brackets and for the guys with lifts the Raised Height Brackets?

no need for inner sleeves here ... inner sleeves are the cheapo version ... and not as strong as an outer truss!
if you want to add them, fine (since you are welding to the tubes anyway) ... but you might discover that they do not slide in if you do not have a brand new housing ... do you want that? lol
(but if you do have a brand new housing they might protect your tubes from warping while welding the truss on )

I don't have a new housing but mine is quite bent at the moment and my fortune teller told me that i'm suddenly gonna find a puddle of oil under my car one day and I'm gonna call a man who will help me get a new one

According to serge according to Artec they supposed to work with a stock JK suspension ... so in theory with added bump stops (regardless of ride height/lift!) it should even work "better" ... lol

what brackets are you talking about? the axle side control arm brackets? no change ... the truss is designed AROUND them!!! (would be more hassle and not necessarily cool otherwise!)

on the link provided by Marwan you have the choice of selecting whether you have a D30 or a 44 and also the kind of trackbar bracket height you want

[Serge]

I dont think many will wend trackbar bracket (unless running 35's)

and in 90% of JK's its DANA 30 here. Unless you've changed it. So you need to specify this to marwan on the order.

For me its DANA 30

[SSS]

ahhh ... track bar bracket height ...

guys ... stick with factory height!!!

unless you have a complete custom steering setup (for those heavy duty 4.5"+ lifted rock crawlers) the raised TB bracket is not for you.
(unless you WANT bump steer ... )

Any update on this topic?

Put me down for one, I have a 2010 JK with a 2.5" lift kit...I will make a payment tomorrow at the dubai showroom

btw I am planning to carry out the regearing to 4.88, would I have to take that into consideration prior to buying?

it is a good idea to do it all in one shot!

for welding the truss on the shop needs to take the D30 front axle off the jeep ... and welding the truss on when the axle/diff is completely emptied is recommended ...
regaring requires pulling the shafts and taking the carrier/pinion and bearings and shims out too ...

so why paying for some of the front axle labor effort twice
(regaering the rear stays as is ... )

[odz_JK]

thanks!! yeah sounds about right.. will have to check with ramy 4x4 for the potential damage to my wallet and inject some more sand in my veins and go for it

[Mano]

odz_JK, did you pay a deposit? Sorry I was out of the country and wasn't able to follow up.
Marco has paid a deposit and wants a kit for himself

[The_Kraken]

Is the price including installation or is there a fee for that also? With Ramy of course...

[marco]

For me is Dana 30 as well.

Kraken, definitely it does not include installation "unfortunately"

Hi All,

We regret to inform you all that the supplier has still not approved our order and is not answering our emails or calls. We cannot afford to make you wait longer and upset you therefore we have decided to cancel our order with ARTEC. We prefer not to work with unreliable suppliers as any mistake from their side will reflect on us and our name.

We will give a full refund to everyone that has placed a deposit.

Sorry again for the inconvenience,

Regards,
Ramy 4x4 Team
