CUSTOMER REVIEWS
couldn't just add an update to my previous reviews so I will post my only negative about the rear frame stiffener is the missing rear sway bar bushing mount holes??????????? What does the limited lifetime warranty cover after the customer has already welded these in? Very disappointed because now we gotta figure out how to solve this problem without destroying part of our work. FYI - The Country XJ didn't come with a rear sway bar. My Xj is a SPORT with came with a sway bar. Lifted Jeeps are naturally more unstable so bigger tires, and particularly the sway bars front and rear are important for hwy driving and towing.
Couldn't figure out how to add Pass Side Stiffener work to previous review so posted this additional review. The pic associated with this one shows Pass Side Stiffener welded with weld locations seam sealed prior to using Eastwoods xtreme Platinum product (4 hr flash time) But needed to wait 48 hours to fully cure before next step. After 48 hr cure, used Eastwoods xtreme Chassis Black, 2 coats (15min flash time).
And Finally will rubberize.
Any Salt Belt driven xj will benefit from rust mitigation. This frame stiffener is just what my auto body technician needed. The most common issue seen in the review pictures (seen here and elsewhere like naxja and jeepforum) is a rusted out Fuel Hose Frame Pass-Thru (if that's what they call it). Luckily, only the oval shield insert on the Fuel Hose Frame Pass-Thru needed to be re-fabricated. Frame steel good but stiffener's definitely needed. Opted against using Dirtbound's custom Leaf Spring plate that relocates axle snubber but had to deal with a broken snubber bolt (re-drilled and tapped) so had to enlarge stiffener relief hole for that snubber bolt. (will post pass side soon)
Can't review yet. Haven't installed yet
excellent quality! manufacturing and shipping took longer than expected however was worth the wait
Good quality steel, great customer service, couldn’t be happier.
I purchased these to put on following some major unibody rehab on my 01 XJ. These fit the frame shape well and look nice and heavy duty.
i did have to widen the very rear 7 vertical plug weld slots by drilling a couple holes in a row up the slot. Not a huge deal but I feel 3/8 wide would be perfect.
Love the product was In awesome shipping box packaging really good. It was a bummer there was no instructions and for spending a few hundred dollars not to get any awesome stickers or a hat or t shirt was a little disappointing
Awesome product. Chose your company after watching several installs on YouTube.
