Just give me the stiffners then you won't feel like you have to do them before buying other things. Problem solved. Btw what stiffners do you have?

Yea but you see I still need to tie my 2x6s to it to tie everything together. HD offroad, i don't see the need for 3/16" when 10g will weld to the uniframe better. Hardest part will be removing the undercoating.

Don't think hd offroad makes stiffners anymore. And how are the 2x6 without tying in? Could you tell a big difference with them alone?

Hmmm... I think they're remodeling their site.

You can probably email them to verify, but I don't know why they'd quit making stiffeners. They still have the no-lift SRBs on there at least.

Looking on their Facebook, they're done with stiffners.

The no lift relocators are on my list.
The jeep rides a lot smoother with the extra center weight that's for sure. Can't tell much else honestly. Took it offroad since putting them on and it was just wood mud trails no rocks or anything.

They're definitely worth it. I got the no lift brackets.

The 2x6s are one of my favorite things i've done to my Jeep, especially with the DOM side tubing. I'm looking at some super nice shackles to compliment the no lift brackets if you catch my drift.

I want the boostwerks shackles for mine. Just gotta get other things in line before then. Didn't you order your side tubes from somewhere? I can't wait to get my jeep 2x6 sliders, frame stiffners and boostwerks shackles.

Caught my drift, nice. I ordered the tube from AJ's Offroad, got to me in a week. Can't argue with already bent and notched DOM tubing with supports. Took about 10 minutes to put each on.

Might get the dom. Trying to ball on a budget at the moment, and the only reason I'm getting the 2x6 so quick is because a buddy is lumping it in with his purchase and I already dented my rockers pretty good. I'd like to get it before I start getting food with the rockers.

Edit: just checked out those tubes you got. I'm really leaning towards it...

Ah... well, there is a lot of competition in the market for 'em. Everyone and their brother makes stiffeners.

Ha, keeps my build active so i'm cool with it. I just ordered them in the standard size they sell them in. I'm happy with them. Would love to hit them off a rock.
