{"product_id":"ruffstuff-specialties-3-16-steel-frame-stiffener-kit","title":"RuffStuff Specialties 3\/16\" Steel Frame Stiffener Kit","description":"The RuffStuff Specialties R1259 frame stiffeners are engineered to significantly reinforce the unibody of your Jeep XJ Cherokee (1984–2001). Built from robust 3\/16\" steel, these stiffeners are designed to combat body flex, a common issue during demanding off-road driving, and provide a stable platform for critical components like long arm suspension systems and skid plates.\n\nA key design feature of these stiffeners is their extended coverage, running 1\" up onto the floor pan. This goes beyond standard designs, helping to eliminate stress risers and distribute loads more effectively. This enhanced coverage is crucial for maintaining unibody integrity, especially when subjected to hard trail use or high-speed desert driving. The integrated flat section near the crossmember simplifies the process of welding and shaping a skid plate for a snug fit.\n\nThese frame stiffeners are a proven solution, with over a decade of use in various builds, from daily-driven trail rigs to dedicated race vehicles. They are specifically recommended for applications involving long arm kits and belly skid plates, or for any XJ owner looking to prevent unibody flex and enhance overall structural rigidity. Installation requires welding, and it is recommended to prepare and clean the frame thoroughly before proceeding.\n\nEach kit includes two frame stiffener plates, one for the driver's side and one for the passenger's side, sold as a pair.","brand":"Ruffstuffoffroad","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52663564927288,"sku":"R1259","price":214.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687659198.jpg?v=1784328074","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/ruffstuff-specialties-3-16-steel-frame-stiffener-kit","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
