The Jeep Cherokee XJ (1984-2001) is a trail icon, but its factory unibody can crack and flex under modern modifications like lifts and large tires. Our Outer Rear Unibody Stiffeners are built to reinforce this critical area, welding on the outside of the rails from the back cab mount to the leaf spring mount for improved structural integrity and longevity.

Offered in 10-gauge cold rolled steel (for superior strength via work hardening and a smooth finish) or 3/16-inch pickled and oiled steel (thicker with a scale-free surface for easy welding and rust resistance). CNC-cut to preserve factory vents and bolt holes, and customizable with square or round weld holes. Sold in pairs for complete driver and passenger coverage, they're pair 3 of 4 in our basic kit—great for targeted reinforcements or rust repairs in harsh, salted environments. Welding is required, with potential minor grinding for optimal fitment.

• Outer Rear Reinforcement: Welds on the outside of the unibody rails from the back cab mount to the leaf spring mount, adding strength to counter lifts, oversized tires, and off-road stress that exceed factory design limits.
• Material Options for Durability: Available in 10-gauge cold rolled steel or 3/16-inch pickled and oiled steel—select based on your needs for strength, thickness, and surface quality.
• Cold Rolled Steel Benefits: Processed at room temperature for work hardening, resulting in higher strength, hardness, and a smoother finish ideal for precision applications and enhanced load-bearing.
• Pickled and Oiled Steel Benefits: Hot-rolled base with acid pickling to remove mill scale (unlike standard A36 steel), plus oil coating for rust prevention—offers a cleaner surface for better welding and painting, with good ductility for forming.
• Weld Hole Customization: Choose square or round weld holes to match your welder's preference for easier, more efficient installation.
• Precision Design: CNC-cut to retain factory vents and bolt holes for a seamless fit without modifications.
• Sold in Pairs: Includes stiffeners for both passenger and driver sides—pair 3 of 4 in our basic kit, perfect as a standalone upgrade or part of a full set.
• Rust Repair Support: Ideal for salted-road regions, aiding in rust patching and prevention while extending your Cherokee's overall lifespan.
