Artec Industries Coil Spring / Shock Tower Brace / Trailing Arm / Panhard Rod Kit
Artec Industries Suspension Geometry Hardware: Built for the Trail
When a serious off-road build demands more than bolt-on basics, fabricators and enthusiasts alike turn to Artec Industries for the suspension geometry components that hold everything together. Their lineup of coil spring, shock tower brace, trailing arm, and panhard rod kits represents the brand’s philosophy of combining precision manufacturing with real-world trail experience — the kind of hardware that forms the backbone of any capable suspension system.
What These Kits Do and Why They Matter
A coil spring and shock tower assembly is more than just a mounting point — it defines where your suspension loads transfer into the frame or axle, directly affecting articulation, geometry, and durability under stress. Kits in this category bundle the critical components of a live-axle coil suspension into a cohesive system: the coil spring bucket, shock tower or shock mount, trailing arm (lower control arm) bracket, and panhard rod (track bar) mount. Getting all of these right in one engineered package ensures that geometry relationships are maintained as intended, especially on lifted rigs where factory dimensions no longer apply.
Artec Industries brings its fabrication DNA to this category with hardware that is Made in the USA and CNC laser cut for consistency and fit. Their shock towers, for example, are constructed from ¼" steel and feature adjustable width, a reservoir passthrough, and compatibility with shocks, coilovers, air shocks, or struts — giving builders flexibility across a wide range of suspension setups. Artec also offers both standard “cutout” and tall no-cutout versions to suit custom applications.
The Artec Approach to Coil Suspension Kits
What sets Artec apart in this space is their attention to the complete picture of suspension geometry. Their Ultimate Coil Bracket combines the coil spring seat, shock mount, and lower link mount into a single integrated unit, reducing the number of weld-on components needed during a custom build while improving the precision of the overall geometry. For builders working on Jeep platforms — including TJ, LJ, XJ, ZJ, JK, JKU, JL, and JT models — Artec’s coil and shock bracket systems are engineered to specific axle tube diameters and factory or aftermarket dimensions.
The panhard rod (or track bar) mount portion of these kits is equally critical: it laterally locates the axle relative to the chassis, preventing side-to-side wander under articulation. Artec’s adjustable panhard mounts allow builders to correct for axle centerline shift introduced by a suspension lift, keeping the steering geometry honest and the handling predictable on and off the trail.
- CNC laser-cut, ¼" steel construction for consistent fit and long-term durability
- Integrated coil, shock, and link bracket designs minimize individual weld-on components
- Adjustable panhard mounts correct geometry after suspension lifts
- Compatible with a wide range of shock types including coilovers, air shocks, and standard monotube designs
- Vehicle-specific fitment across Jeep Wrangler, Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Gladiator, and more
- Made in the USA with fabricator-grade precision
Whether you are building a dedicated rock crawler, upgrading a daily-driven Wrangler, or completing a custom axle swap, Artec Industries’ suspension kits provide the structural foundation that keeps your rig tracking true and absorbing punishment mile after mile.
