After repairing my unibody where the steering box and trac bar are, I'm venturing into bracing the front. Already have the outside of the unibody by the steering box plated with my bumper. Has anyone used this brace or one similar to it?

I'd say he knows his stuff. I don't have his brace but I have his TB with the higher duro bushings. There was was a mistake on shipping with my order but within a few emails my stuff was overnighted for free. +1 in my book.

I'm just going to pull the trigger and see how it goes. Waiting for an email confirming it will work with my Durango box. Pics after install

Hey there, Mikey! The two boxes are physically similar enough that the brace should work just fine. We've had other customers mount it up with no problems at all.

HTH,

Installed today. I have the stock sway bar mounts so had to trim a little. Solid product only issue I had, was the clamp portion welded to the bar was off by about 3/4 inch probably due to my steering box being a Durango box and slightly spaced off the frame. Just cut it off and welded in the right spot. after test driving with it on I can definitely tell the difference. Took the play out of my steering.

Overall great product and easy install even without changing the sway bar bushing. Thanks for the product.
