subframe connectors for XJ/cherokees???

[robieyukon]

I thinking about freshing up my cherokee. New shocks, 1" spacers, 2" shackles, new tubular control arms with bushings, and maybe subframe connectors if I can find some. I know connectors for 5.0s are like $100 from summit/jegs. Does anyone make them for cherokees??

you might want to actually look at the bottom of your cherokee sometime, you'll see the "frame channel" is continuous from front to back.

They do sell unibody stiffeners for the XJ though.

these work with stock LCA brackets intact.

This one would require either a long arm system or modification to fit around the LCA brackets

We put the TNT Customs stiffeners on an XJ and they were a pretty straight forward install. It's alot of work to get the unibody ready for welding but it's not difficult. Personally, I would use the ones from RuffStuff only because they already have holes for rosette welds. On the TNT ones we used we had to spend a fair amount of time with a drill to make enough holes for the rosettes.
