Question Steering Box Brace:

-As im starting my new build,, (unibody is trashed on the old XJ, so i bought another one),, i HAD rustys frame plating, & cross braced for my PSC gear box. Now im putting in a winch bumper which takes care of the outside plating & re-using the cros brace.

-Question is, sould i get C-roks inner frame brace, (45 bucks), or get Rustys inner Steering Box Frame Plate, (89 bucks but comes with both sides)?? SO whats the consences here?

Default Bracke or Bracket

I had my steering gear box drop to my sway bar. Bad thing for sure. No one in town had to bolts needed. Even if they did they would not fit correct becasue the plastic housing that holds up broke off as well. Ive drove it about 3000 miles since. About to move to 32-33x12.50's is this something i should purchase for sure?
