Dodge Power Wagon W200 Strut Tower Brace

After some wheeling around I realized that chassis of my old beloved truck flexes so much. The main reason looked like the cross members under the chassis were not enough to prevent this flex.  To solve  this I searched internet about strut tower brace but no one offered a solution or idea.

At this point I was not alone, the friends at Mint Garage came with a design. I was a little selective about the design of the part since I love the looks of my engine bay. In the end I agreed to produce and install it. The tubing is stainless steel so it functions as expected and looks really good.






After the installation I made one more modification. I replaced the bolts that holds the Brace to the chassis with tapered ones. This gave me more clearance and confidence to prevent any damage to the shock absorbers during flex.





I just bolted the new construction through the holes which used to hold the original strut brackets.










More details and pictures will follow soon....
