It stiffens the housing through the FAD (Front Axle Disconnect) cast section, the common failure point on factory JL\/JT front axles.

It only fits once the FAD module is gone, so it requires a FAD delete or one-piece axle shaft kit, and it does not work with a factory FAD.

Jeep changed the housing center-section casting partway through production, starting with the Mojave JT and Xtreme Recon JL, so the truss is built for both the \u003cstrong\u003eEarly Casting\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003e05 Casting\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Is it a Dana 44?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Dana 44\" covers many generations of axle. The M210 is the modern, metric version with a 210 mm ring gear, and it is the one this truss fits. Nearly every Gladiator JT ever built has it, regardless of trim. On the Wrangler JL it depends on trim: Rubicon and Xtreme Recon run it, and so do many others. Your window sticker lists the axle, or send us your VIN and we will confirm it before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich M210 casting do I have?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe split is not a clean model-year break. All 2018-2020 Jeeps have the early casting. Most 2021+ have the 05 casting, and Mojave and Xtreme Recon (XR) trims received it early. Check the housing, not the model year.

The early casting has three: one on the driver side, two on the passenger side.
