Overview
The G2 Axle and Gear 68-2050 is a heavy-duty front axle truss for a Dana 30 front axle on the 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK, in 2-door and 4-door models. It is part of G2’s JK front truss and armor system, which the maker designed to strengthen the axle.
The truss is made from 1/4-inch main components with 1/8-inch reinforcement plates. The design spreads strength across the whole axle, not just the long tube, in a lightweight package. The parts are laser cut for a precise fit, and the truss ships unpainted.
Key features
- Heavy-duty steel construction
- 1/4-inch main components with 1/8-inch reinforcement plates
- Covers the whole axle, not only the long tube
- Laser-cut parts for a precise fit
- Includes a gusset, a truss and a bracket
- Unpainted finish
Preparing for welded installation
Welding a truss to a Dana 30 housing is a job for an experienced fabricator, and preparation matters as much as the weld itself. Clean the axle tube and the cast center section to bare metal where the gussets and brackets will sit, and check that the axle housing is straight and free of cracks before fitting anything. Dry-fit the gusset, truss and bracket together so the pieces line up without forcing them into place.
Because the truss is unpainted, plan a coating once welding is finished. Bare steel should be primed and painted to slow rust, and the welds should be inspected for cracks after the first few trail runs. Over time, check the bolts and mounts for movement, since loose hardware is a common sign that a brace needs attention.
- Clean welding areas to bare metal
- Prime and paint after welding is finished

Vehicle fitment
It fits the Jeep Wrangler JK with a Dana 30 front axle, in 2-door and 4-door models. The JK chassis code covers 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler (JK) models.
This is the Dana 30 truss. The same line also includes a Dana 44 front axle truss for JK models, so check the axle type before ordering.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Welding is required, including to the cast center section, so the truss needs a professional welder. G2 strongly recommends professional welding skills for this installation.
What’s included
The kit includes a gusset, a truss and a bracket. Not included: welding and paint, since the truss arrives unpainted.
