Default Which Track Bar Brace

Yes, I've searched.
A friend of mine is off work next week and has time to do some welding for me so I would like to brace my track bar brackets. I've looked at Curries, Teraflex and JKS so far but can't decide. This guy also has a plasma cutter and says we could come up with something of our own so that is a possibility.
Anyway, I was wanting opinions on what everyone thinks is the best route to go. The JKS front is $140.00! However, it does relocate the steering dampener, but that's more than I wanted to spend on one bracket. If I have to buy something, I'm leaning toward the Currie's. If anyone has re-enforced theirs themselves I like to hear how they did it. Pics would help.
Thanks

I like the AEV one since you get a better steering damper, drag link flip, and track bar relocation & reinforcement.

Only 2 replies. I was hoping for more since I would like to get this done next week. How about some homemade ideas?

Think some members just finished up the welds and added gussets to the sides with scap metal.

Thanks MKJeep. That look's simple enough.

I have the JKS braces front and rear... I am very pleased with the rear, this one is solid! I use a adjustable TB front and rear (TF). The only problem in the front is I had to modify my woods SS bracket a bit. The front was designed for a SS with a spherical joint on one side that only one company sells . But other than that I believe it does its job nicely.
