In our opinion it is definitely recommended if your vehicle is carrying a lot of weight in the rear, has air bags, towing a trailer or caravan.
Late model 4wd’s are prone for bent rear chassis, partly due to the chassis size and thickness and the high rated towing and load capacities the manufactures claim they handle from factory. Towing and carrying loads that are not ideally distributed properly can crack or stress the chassis, specially when carry heavy loads or towing over rough or rugged terrain.
Over loaded vehicles are dangerous and unroadworthy, heavy duty suspension and load assist air bags will not solve the problem of overloading. Even with chassis bracing and the right suspension set up its definitely recommend that you plan out what your carrying and the weight of everything in the vehicle.
The Superior Engineering range of Weld-on chassis braces, dramatically increase the sectional strength of the chassis in key critical areas. These braces are currently available for a range of vehicles such as – Toyota Hilux Vigo & Revo, Nissan Navara D40 & NP300, Ford Ranger PX2/ Mazda BT50, Mitsubishi ML/MN & MQ Triton, Holden Colorado / Isuzu D-Max, Toyota LandCruiser 79 and many more. Although these are a DIY kit, it is recommended, that any welding to the chassis be performed by a qualified welder and all modification/repairs be certified and approved according to local rules and regulations.
