I only have 31s. But I'm considering getting fronts at a (much) later time. The rears are a harder sell. Maybe after I install the 30 gallon Genright tank.

Back from my first run post-stiffener install. Let me say that I wish I had followed everyone's advice and just installed front-to-rear stiffeners! The difference was night and day! The Jeep felt so much more solid taking the washboard roads, bumps, and uneven terrain! The squeaks & rattles were significantly reduced. I now feel that installing all 3 stiffeners will make the Jeep feel & sound like a new vehicle!

My advice for those thinking about getting them: Do it! Get all 3 if you can possibly afford it. Best mod I've done since my lockers! Getting all 3 in one shot gets you a 10% discount. Maybe the company might consider giving a 5% discount for previous midsection customers ordering the front & rears? C'mon, HD Offroad! You can do it.

Question, I have frame tie ins with my front and rear bumpers. Do I need to just order the main frame stiffeners or can I still order the full frame ones

You can still do the front and rears that way your bumpers are really tied in.

As far as ordering fronts and rears after ordering the mids pm me

I still have stock bumpers and gas tank. Will putting stiffeners in the front and rear cause issues with future upgrades? I'll PM later regarding the purchase of front and rears as a later, separate order from the mid.

Rear shouldn't be a problem at all, as long as the front bumper you go with has a little bit of adjustment you won't have a problem at all w the fronts.

Hmmm...if I told you which front bumper I was going to go with, would you know if there would be issues? I've been eyeing Dirtbound Offroad's Mojave bumper. http://www.dirtboundoffroad.com/moja...e-xj-5428.html

How thick are these? I'm also ordering a set of aj's offroad sliders and there is a question if stiffeners are on the jeep. 1/8 or 3/16. Thanks
