I need to beef up my steering box mount and was thinking of using a brace that goes from the opposite uni-frame rail to the box. There is another option of using steel plates that bolt on one side or both sides. Is the brace setup just as strong as the steel plate setup? I don't know which one to get.
Note: can't be a weld-on part.

 

personally i would go with the brace that goes from the opposite uniframe, mostly because i like the design better.

Do you run a brace kyle? if i remember correctly, u are on 31's?

Cool, i guess i'll go that route. I think it'll be just fine for 31's. Now i gotta decide WHICH 31's i want. LTB's, Mud Kings, or trxus MT's.

 

cooper STT's and yes you will be fine without a brace.

Those were on my long list that got narrowed down to the 3 above. I couldn't find those for less than $160 a piece anywhere around here. Summit has them listed for $200??!! I can't really afford that so i have to stick with a $120 or less tire. I get my tires from 4wd or summit since they are local, or somewhat local.

 

go check around your local shops, i got mine for about 150 which is a decent deal. they are great tires that wear great.

i personally like the inner and outer frame brace, spreads the load out along a greater surface, but you can always run both braces if you think you need the strength.

ltb's wear like wax on the street, alot of good options for a general mud tire though. personally i am partial to the mickey thompson mtz's.

 

fixed

Yeah they do but i only drive 1/2 mile everyday so they last quite some time for me. I had ltb's on the TJ and they lasted 2 years. I couldn't complain.




They rode like **** though.
