Depends on your plans for the rig and what its primary role will be.

If it is going to be used for any thing that might make it flex alot then frame stiffeners are a definite advantage for you to keep your Jeep from tearing itself apart.

I agree. Figure out what your future plans are, lift, size tires, what kind of wheeling and then you'll know if you need em. If you do alot of 3-wheeling gnarly flexing, it would be wise to stiffen up the frame.

This has always been a big debate. Some say it's never needed cuz their jeep never had any issues, while some tear sheet metal or can't close doors anymore.

it's not the stiffeners that made it feel that way

xj jeepman 09-06-2008 01:20 PM

what do u think it was

ktmracer419 09-06-2008 01:24 PM

a different rig setup

a little bit of steel welded to the lowest point on your jeep isn't going to make it feel like it's gonna flop.

it's like saying "I got my wife pregnant because I went to work today"
