Creeper Knuckle Gussets: Front Axle Reinforcement Kit (Trail Gear)
Aggressive trail driving and oversized tires put immense leverage on your factory axle, often leading to bent outer knuckle ends and permanent housing damage. The Creeper Gusset Kit provides critical reinforcement to the knuckle ball area, significantly increasing the structural integrity of your front solid axle.
Heavy-Duty Reinforcement
This kit is designed for those who push their rigs to the limit in rock crawling and high-impact off-roading.
- Integrated Functionality: The upper gussets feature pre-drilled holes, allowing them to double as sturdy mounting points for your shocks.
- Full-Axle Protection: By strengthening the knuckle "balls," you prevent the common "smiling" effect where the axle tubes or knuckles bend upward under load.
- Steering Support: Includes specific gussets for the steering stops to ensure your steering geometry remains intact during hard impacts.
Kit Components
Each kit includes the necessary hardware to reinforce both sides of your front axle:
- (2) Upper Shock Mount Gussets
- (2) Lower Knuckle Gussets
- (8) Steering Stop Reinforcement Gussets
Installation & Finish
- Required Skills: This is a weld-on kit. Welding and grinding are required for a secure installation.
- Finish: Parts ship in a raw, unpainted finish. We recommend painting or powder-coating after welding to prevent corrosion.
