Marlin Crawler's New Heavy Duty Knuckle Gusset Kit coming soon!!
Check out our new heavy duty knuckle gusset kit coming soon!
What separates our new Heavy Duty Knuckle Gusset Kit from the rest?
Full Stop-to-Stop Bracing
In the past, small add-on plates have been used to cap off the steering stop. We've now integrated the knuckle gusset itself with the steering stops.
Four Braces Instead of Two
In the past we only used single braces on the top and bottom mounted perpendicular to the axle housing. Our new design features four braces to better spread the load and increase load rating.
Angled Bottom Edge
The sharp edges of the old single perpendicular-mounted bottom brace were just crying for attention from rocks. Our new heavy duty design ramps the two bottom braces with a rounded edge for better functionality + strength.
UPDATE: Full Knuckle-to-Spring Support
The upper plates extend to the spring perch where they are welded for full leaf spring to knuckle support!
UPDATE: Compatible with Coil Over & Air Shocks
We've left enough room to fit common coil over and air shocks to the upper gusset.
Made In The USA with High Quality USA Steel
We are a long-time supporter of Made In USA with high quality and long lasting USA steel. We use the very same high quality USA steel as before!
So what do you guys think?
We will be releasing these very soon! More pictures and install instructions to follow!

We'll be MIG'ing them when we do installs, but flux'ing or TIG'ing would work also. These are close up shots and the gaps are not as large as they seem: They are perfect to lay down a nice penetrating MIG bead.

Hey guys! We have an awesome update to this!
We are now including a pair of Steering Stop Inserts to beef'n up the steering stop for maximum strength.
Here is what the updated complete kit looks like:
And here is where the Steering Stop Inserts go. Simply drop and weld em in place before putting the top braces on:
Best of all, we are including these at no extra cost! What do you guys think?!
