Unibody Reinforcements
I could really use some input on this, looking for first hand experience instead of the he/she said.
So the story...My buddy and I are building up his Cherokee and we have a TON to do in the next month before he moves away. By ton, I mean complete drive train swap, front axle swap, reinforcements from the leaf spring mounts forward, and building a long arm setup.
So the question...Who has the best reinforcements out there. I'm looking at the Liquid Iron Industries front ones but can't find much besides the T&T middle ones and I'm not a huge fan of them because it's only the bottom and outside with no rosette weld holes. I'd prefer to build a set but we just don't have the time with both of us working full time and the weekends shot for the most part for me with my family's farm being open for the season.
Any input is appreciated on the reinforcements.

That's one tool I wish I had. If we were to make the holes we would have to use the drill, which is one thing I really don't want to do as I've drilled enough on my Jeep to realize it's not my favorite thing to do.
Has anyone run the Ruff Stuff reinforcements? They look a lot beefier andn better designed than the T&T ones and have the holes cut in it already for the rosette welds.
