I just installed the c-rock steering reinforcement plates both inner and outer plates and it is a beefy product. For those wondering, yes, they do work with the tow hook brackets. Word to the wise get a dremmel to enlargen the holes for the spacers.... the drill barely fit in there....

....I should have painted the tow hook bracket....:doh:

Did you have any trouble getting the bolts out of the steering box? Did any break? And what length bolts did you put back? Reason...I'm going to do the same mod.

What's the link there for c-rok?
Nevermind found it in my esstenials mag. I like this set up, looking to add this just don't know how well it would work with a T&T bumper.

Looks good. If you are pulling the tow hook bracket to paint you may want to change the bolts to grade 8 hardware. I noticed the back bolt is of the grade 5 variety.

I sprayed with PB blaster a day before and the bolts were not too rusted... Ah, I forgot to check to see what grade that back bolt was... gotta get a 10 for sure....

I bought the C-Rok steering reinforcement kit about a month ago, but haven't had a chance to install it yet. Good to hear it will fit with the tow hooks I have on the front.

Mini-Beast I saw that you have a T&T Bumper. C-Rok also sells just the inside reinforcement plate by itself for those people with custom bumpers that already reinforce the outside of the unibody frame. It will save you a few bucks since your bumper is essentially already doing the job of reinforcing the steering box on one side.
