HD offroad stiffeners
I just got mine. And im not too sure how i feel. They both came attached by a spot weld, its just a flat plate and you will need to cut it in order to clear the mount that goes from uniframe to body, as well as cut to clear the fuel hose skid, and the ends to clear the shackle mounts. They don't even wrap around the frame. With all the cutting i have to do i would of have rather made my own with the plasma cutter. And if your going to make a product for a specific vehicle, it would have been nice to have it be a perfect fit. Slot of reviews say this brand stiffy is great an all, but im not sure. And what is the cutout rectangle at the end for?

cutout rectangle is for your gas filler neck
I don't think any company make a "perfect" fitting frame plate. I've used all the HD ones and the ruffstuffs. they all required minor fitment massaging and trimming. the rears would've been easy to make yourself. the fronts and mids are worth buying just in time saving, measuring, and frustration alone though. I like the HD's. 10ga is super easy to weld to uniframe. you only have to cut out 2 small sections on them it's not that big a deal
