I would be interested in this as a replacement strut only, keeping the rest of the suspension. Another strut alternative is always a good thing. If it works as well as other Fox products I think it would be a great addition to an already modded front suspension.

Even more on a Tracker or Sidekick with a body lift. Once they seperate, there isn't too much strength in the strut tower.


There isn't any connection between the body and the strut tower anyway, there is a small gap - that prevents vibs from the chassis coming into the tub. Something would need to be done and I think that would have to involve welding so it wouldn't be a bolt on conversion.


I agree, but they are close enough that it limits the strut tower from moving too much.

Throw on a Body Lift, forget it. The Strut Towers need to be reinforced.

From my experience, when you drive into a tight section that you need to climb, Escalator in Moab, UT, it puts a lot of stress on the strut tower. It is weak, it needs to be strengthend.

Passenger side in the vid.

Yes I can offer just a strut package for 3" or 4 1/2 lifts. I started out with the strut tower brace on and to date i have not found any thing that has failed yet. I have not put lockers in yet to really trash on it . More up dates to come .

The front arms are modified,they would be the equivalent to moving the rear mounting hole out one inch and the spindle one inch forward. The arms in the pic is for my lift kit and they are available for use with coil springs . the IFS mounts are two inch longer and the the other mount not shown is also in the kit. Front arms $275 , IFS $120 .
