It's always better to prevent the damage than to fix it. Put the brace on now.

As to which one to get, I have both, I don't have much experience with either brace. My frame was pretty tore up by 35's and some average wheelin' before I had either. And now I'm planning on bigger tires which is why I got ORD's brace as well as the weld in brace from 4WP.



That's because I'm the devil.

Definately get the ORD(I only know of one more and it sucks compared to ORD) brace now before the tires go on!

Yes, i would advise doing both if you can...I had the ORD brace on for a few years and my frame still cracked...and spending the money now is better than spending the money on a tow truck later down the road when your steering box parts company with your frame!!

I reccomend that you go ahead and put in the repair kit as well. When you combine the repair kit with the brace, you'll have a much stronger overall setup and will probably never break it. I believe there have been a few people who have still developed cracks after installing just the brace. Please don't wait till it cracks. I did that and ended up with a frame that had broken in half!

Get the ORD brace now..

Do it now - I caught mine starting to crack a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully it was small enough to weld effectively without fishplating it yet.
