Subframe sleeving or T&J stiffners??? What do you suggest to beef up the unibody?
Subframe sleeving or T&J stiffners??? I'm running 37's and want to strength my unibody as well as I can. I'm going to be putting in a D&C internal roll cage and I have rock sliders already. Do you guys suggest sleeving the subframe or will T&J stiffners work good to strength up my unibody with the big tires and wheeling it? If you said to sleeve the frame rail with what thickness of metal and what welder etc. I know the subframe rails are not much more than thicker sheet metal so does sleeving them help that much if you add thick metal to flimsy stuff? Also I hear that welding to the unibody is not suggested as it can weaken it and is hard because it is so thin. Please advise. I'm closing out the mods on my XJ and this is an important 1 along with the roll cage for safety and the longivity of the body.
