Increase Chassis Stiffness without Off-Road Compromise | Steeda Bronco Strut Tower Brace

[tj@steeda]

Just curious, will this work with the Braptor?

I don't know that we have had the opportunity to test fit that yet - do you own a BRaptor?

All post-production enhancements, lol

I do. Feel free to reach out to me and we can discuss test fitting it. You can reach me at 512-903-5863 or [email protected]

This appears to be a solution looking for a problem. I don't care how stiff my chassis is, that corvette next to me at the light is going to smoke me one way or the other.
Does it come with a sticker that adds 5hp?

I doubt adding a strut brace to a tall body-on-frame truck with soft suspension provides any benefit, but it looks good as far as engine bay decorations go.

I don't understand wanting a chassis to flex around rocks, as opposed to the suspension doing that. But I'm not a hard core off-roader so I'm just trying to get educated why a strut brace would be removed. I can't think of any off-road vehicle I've ever seen that had flex built into the frame.

I had an 82 on 38s that flexed so much so many times all the screws ripped through the front clip.

1800 miles30 hours of it is off-road I guess i don't qualify as most...

30 hours at what speed? So maybe 90 off road miles of the 1800? How aggressive was the terrain? Fire road or rocky river bed?

So you're saying it had incredible articulation. LOL.

Can’t say I have ever seen a strut tower brace on a full frame vehicle before. Even funnier when you consider the bronco has upper a arms. No struts.

It’s ok guys this must be a Bronco Sport part. Real Broncos are body on frame.

mostly under 20 often less than 6mph

Yup, you not the norm! That’s some pretty serious off roading!

The snow pictures were day four of ownership, I am going back Saturday to conquer the trail that stopped us where the front end is vertical there have been some mods though...

 

[Raptor.Tremor.Bronco]

I guess nobody on here has seen prerunner builds with engines cages which are basically strut tower braces. The benefit I see is its going to increase the strength of the strut towers for real hard abuse

Any high speed can benefit from it, I crawl mostly.
