Cheese Waffle Frame Brace

LaVerne Dratt · 08-06-2008, 12:23 PM

I just installed a 4 bolt Tahoe crossmember under my 06 and would like to thank Mr Top Jimmy and whoever else may have been involved in figuring out that it would fit and improve the handling of my SSR. The original 2 bolt tubular brace was pretty rinky-dink compared to the Tahoe piece which does however weigh more. The part number (supplied by Jimmy) is 15076943. List $66.90 and I paid $41.05. The frame is predrilled and I used 4 SS 10mm X 2 inch bolts to install. (About 5 minutes, without jacks, ramps.) There is in my opinion, significantly less bumpy road frame distortion transmitted to the steering wheel and the seat of my pants. $50 well spent... SUNNYSIDE

Uh, thanks but this has been discussed in full on another thread.
Sorry you weren't able to locate that thread.

It does offer a significant improvement. Glad you were able to find out as well.
If you read the other thread you will see some have just added the $8 second brace to achieve the same results.

Good Job!

Brace is on a Trailblazer, not a Tahoe. I do agree that it does make a difference.

I'm confused you say the original,was rinky-dink, does that mean you took off the ones already on the SSR? Because when I had the other one put on, it went on without anything coming off and was not as expensive! and I unlike others really can't tell a difference but that may be because I already did sway bars

Some just added a second bar like you and I did.
Others took the factory bar off to make room for a X brace that used the same 4 holes we used.

I agree with you, I felt no difference. And I to have the updated sway bars on.
