It's a trackbar brace, they are nothing new. Crucial on lifted xj's that see speed offroad.

I've had problems with the bolt holes wallowing out at the trackbar bracket side, so much so that I now run a heim there. Obviously you don't need any misalignment, but 1)the materials were there and ready, 2) the heim is hardened, something not done so cheap in the garage, and 3)now I Always have a spare 3/4-rh heim
 
When I got my RE1660HD, mount and brace, I noticed a difference after install. I did that before I had frame stiffeners installed. I can tell you that my track bar bracket bolts are always tight when I check.
That specific one, I do not know much about. But, I would say something more substantial like the RE, Synergy, clayton etc makes more sense. Those have the same style, 2 bolt mounts on the ends.
 
The biggest advantage is if you have a track bar mount that drops a lot. It's going to help avoid rocking the mount back and forth as you turn the wheel with bigger tires. It's pretty easy making one yourself. Both a steering box brace and track bar brace can help significantly. It's cheap insurance
 
I run the same one since it worked perfectly with my ruffstuff mount

The weld on mount? The inside the frame mount or outside the frame mount? I have been looking for something like this since I welded on the outside the frame mount.
