Front End Reinforcement

I've come across a few threads of peoples front ends getting tweaked in the frame or inner fenders and cross braces tearing / cracking. None of that has happened to me, but I'd like to reinforce what I can before anything like that happens.

I have found some frame reinforcements specifically to strengthen the bumper mounting point, and I have found frame boxing kits for the rear, but I was wondering if such kits exist for the front, or what other options there might be? I dont have the skills to custom fab anything, but would love to see examples or ideas of what people have done to reinforce the front end.

Thank you!

 

Here's what I did to mine, seems to be holding up well. YMMV, sharing for entertainment and information only but I can't believe how thin the front frame area is where the bumper mounts and the crumple points are on the frame.

Looks nice and beefy! The cross member is a good idea. I dont have fab skills, but maybe I can find someone to do this for me.

Did you box your front frame at all?

 

the front is boxed already all the way back to about where the trans crossmember is. It’s pretty easy to make that crossmember up front maybe a couple hours of work, but someone who is good at welding can have it done no problem.

 

Sweet deal, thank you!
