Xj uni-rail stiffners
We now carry Ruffstuff XJ Chassis Reinforcements! These are a great way to stiffen up the body and make a great platform for a long arm kit as well as rock sliders.
They are certainly as well made as any of the rest but have some very definite improvements to boot! Where the others stop the Cap at the floor creating a very long stress riser on the very weak floorboards, ours continue 1" onto the floor itself spreading out the load further and increasing the lifespan of the body.
Another of the unique ways these are made is the front and rear risers follow the Unirail into the wheel wells, the rear doesn't need too much but the front goes up 9" into the front fender at the angle of the rail after it turns into the well.
When you install these is the perfect time to create your own long arm kit and we have the brackets for it! If you are sticking with stock either cutoff the leading 9" or remove and replace your link bracket after you install the rails. The last thing these do that others have chosen to ignore is make adding a skid plate easy. Weld the flat area around the crossmember and then use a jack to custom fit the bends. They are 3/16" thick and come as a pair.
