If you???re looking to beef up your Jeep Cherokee XJ, you might want to check out the JKS Unibody and Steering Reinforcement Braces. This kit is all about giving your ride some serious backbone, especially if you???re the type who likes to hit the trails hard. It comes with everything you need: inner and outer chassis reinforcement plates, a steering box brace, support sleeves, a tow hook support bracket, and all the necessary hardware. Yeah, it???s a lot, but trust me, your Jeep will thank you later.

Now, let???s talk about why you need this. The unibody design of the Cherokee XJ is made up of multiple layers of sheet metal that are spot-welded together. Sounds sturdy, right? Well, when you???re out there bouncing over rocks and mud, that chassis can start to show some wear. You might notice small fractures forming, especially around the steering gear mount. That???s not ideal when you???re trying to steer those big tires through tricky terrain.

The JKS plates are designed to tackle this issue head-on. They attach directly to both the inside and outside of the chassis rail, giving you that extra strength where you need it most. Made from heavy gauge steel, these bad boys are built to last. Just keep in mind, they come bare metal, so you might want to prep them for rust protection.

• Reinforces the most vulnerable part of your chassis to keep your steering functioning smoothly.
• Gives your steering gear the support it needs when you???re running larger tires off-road.
• Helps distribute loads during winching and recovery, which is crucial for unibody vehicles.
• Strengthens winch and bumper mounts, plus it repositions the OE tow hook for better off-road clearance.
• Saves you from costly repairs down the line when the steering gear mount fails on the trail.
• Swaps out the factory steering gear hardware for more durable, long-lasting materials.
