Have you checked out the boostwerks engineering steering brace? it is the one that I am going to use (as soon as I install whichever bumper I finally decide to go with and my winch).

As far as a spacer, you should definitely replace the stock aluminum spacer that is in there with a steel one. And I would do both. Never going to hurt our unibody to have as much bracing as you can get, especially with larger tires.

Regarding which one, I feel that you can never go wrong with having some JCR on your Jeep. Here is what I used.

I like the jcr kit but I have iron rock off-road front unibody bracing to install once I get time to do my long arm kit so not worth it to me I'll look into the boost kit. Thanks
