What are the recommendations for brand and type of trackbar drop bracket brace? My drop bracket loosens up at the frame and ends up making a pop noise upon turning the steering, we tighten the drop bracket bolts and the pop stops, but eventually it loosens again. my thought is a brace that runs across to the opposite frame rail. several folks ell them, what is recommended?

Eventually I will add front frame stiffeners I am thinking, so then I can weld the drop bracket to the frame stiffeners, but still think a brace to the opposite frame will be a good idea. Comments????
 
I love my Ironman 4x4 setup. Its stout as hell and ties into the passenger "frame" rail. The Enduro Joint at the chassis side is cheap and easy to rebuild as well

 
I have Ironman 4X4 (not installed), Stinky Fab (installed) and Rubicon Express (not installed). The SFR and Ironman are for an OTK (Over The Knuckle) setup and Cross Over Steering. The Stinky Fab bracket is a bit sturdier. Both about the same on the Track Bar Stiffener. I think the Rubicon Express is a bit better. All of them you need to use their bracket with their Trackbar stiffener. Alpine is another one that has a trackbar stiffener. I've only seen pictures. I had a bracket or plate made up for the passenger side to stiffen that side. As supplied, the trackbar stiffener just bolts to the sheet metal.
Also, I have the Bad Dad Fab hidden winch bumper and steering box brace setup. I also had the Ironman steering box stiffener setup installed. I didn't have the sector bearing installed on the Ironman. Bent frame. Then a cracked frame. I think a good addition of either to prevent a cracked frame.
I forget which member has their own setup of a trackbar stiffener. I like it. Its a tube across to basically a RHD trackbar bracket.
