so im looking to order a steering box brace today. what is better for a brace a spacer or the rod brace or both? what brands do you suggest? I will be installing front unibody plates on the outside when I do my long arms.

 

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

 

Sounds like you got it all figured out. Make it happen Captain.

 

Thanks lol

 

I ll vouch for boostwerks kit. It's well designed and extremely beefy.
