from frontal hits. Eliminates the swaying associated with larger tires wandering and the squishy feeling of the truck going around corners. This brace has enough clearance so that most water hoses will not rub on it. This superior design is made with 1/2" plate steel with welded corners! No fatiguing in these joints like other companies who use bent 3/8" corners. Recommended for all Scout II's. Includes all hardware $99

They are superior and outperform the stock flimsy equipment that is made of 1/8 wall mild steel and 5/8 solid mild steel. The factory ones are hollow, these are either DOM 1.125" or solid polished stainless steel. In addition the ends are the heaviest on the market. An additional option available is adding heim joints to the end in place of the conventional ends. What this means is more flex on the draglink when articulating (spacers must be used...ask). On the tie rod it means that you can move the tie rod above the knuckles for 2-3" more ground clearance in a spot previously taken up in front of the axle (requires drilling out taper to 3/4"hole). This mounting method maximizes chances of not bending tie rods on the trails.
