unibody flex! YAY!

so i've got some pretty good flex in the region between the axles...
what are some unibody stiffeners people like?
how are they installed?
cost?

i'm looking to spend no more than 300 and can weld myself.
thanks for the input

Make some rock rails and buy front and rear receivers.

tnt stiffners tied into these:

along with beefed up front crossmember/beefy crossmember/belly skid, and a rear hitch or creative welding and plate steel.

then cage it

while your at it beef up leaf spring mounts and such too.

my current jeep is retired due to unibody failure





thats my next jeep

TnTs are great. To put them on you need a floor jack and a good welder (not the machine but the person who is doing it because the unibody frame is thin). I say get the stiffeners first because they give you a great foundation for attaching everything else to.

if you can weld, make your own out of thick plate. Buddy of mine did it when he put 39's on.
