Please see compatibility tab to confirm fitment.
Our Chassis Brace/Repair plates are zinc coated in SA5 to prevent corrosion between the chassis strengthening plate and your OEM chassis.
We recommend purchasing a weld-through primer, which adds extra rust protection between your chassis plates. U-POL Weld#2 Weld Through Primer, available for purchase HERE.
Late-model 4wd’s are also particularly prone to bent rear chassis’, partly due to the chassis size and thickness and the remarkably high advertised ‘rated’ towing and load capacities. Towing and carrying loads that are not ideally distributed can accelerate cracking and failure, which is made even worse when done over rough or rugged terrain.
Overloaded vehicles are dangerous and unroadworthy, heavy-duty suspensions and load assist airbags will not solve the problem of overloading.
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.
Superior Engineering has done a lot of the hard work for you by having NCOP Engineering ‘Design Approval’ on all of their chassis strengthening plate kits. This means that once correctly fitted, a simple mod plate under the NCOP VSB light-vehicle code can be easily applied.
Weld-on brace kits are often a great alternative if a welded repair of the chassis is being done, or where some preventative measures are being added to a vehicle planning for big loads.
Alternatively, a Weld-on Chassis Brace Kit can be fitted to a torn or become badly deformed chassis as part of the repair process. The repairer can utilise profile-cut plates to add significant strength to the chassis and the damaged area. Like any chassis repair, consult your local authorities as to the requirements.
NOTE: These braces do not increase the load or towing capacity of the vehicle.
Chassis Brace plates are designed as an aid and are not recommended for vehicles that may be excessively loaded. Vehicles that are loaded beyond the original OE GVM and GCM are advised to have additional chassis reinforcement designed and added Suitable For each particular application.
Please check with your local transport authority about legality before purchasing.
This brace kit requires welding of the brace for correct fitment. It is recommended that a certified welder do this.
We recommend re-rust proofing your chassis every 12 months, a solution we recommend would be inner chassis wax or tech toll solutions.
This product has passed testing for approval under the NCOP system.
Please get in touch with Superior Engineering for the approval process.
Superior Engineering offer custom built suspension solutions, with unique adjustability and performance.
These kits are assembled to order to suit your requirements, with an average lead time that can vary between 1-3 weeks.
If you need a specific eta, please contact us before ordering and we will be sure to assist you.
Consolidated freight allows PPD Performance to combine multiple orders onto a single pallet and transfer them together, reducing freight costs by sharing them across orders.
This option adds an additional 1–3 week delay on top of the standard 1–3 week supplier lead time.
If you require your item sooner, please contact us before or after ordering to discuss specific lead times or faster freight options.
PPD Performance exhausts comprise of mandrel bent, stainless pipe work, delivering uncompromising flow, performance, and sound. Mandrel bending involves placing a mandrel inside the piping, before it is bent to shape. In comparison; cheaper press bending from other manufacturers squashes the tube as it is bent, reducing flow.
Tired of your mild steel exhaust systems rusting out after a year or less? Time to shop for a stainless steel system? There’s still some things you need to be aware of. Our competitors typically advertise their exhaust products as stainless steel. Most don't stipulate the differences between ferretic 409 grade stainless steel and austenitic 304 stainless steel.
Significant differences exist between the metals that make one better for performance exhaust applications than the other. Let us explain
The corrosion resistance of your 4x4 exhaust depends on the content of chromium and nickel found in the alloy. 409 grade stainless steel is used by many manufactures due to its medium strength, formability and very low cost. Typically, 409 grade stainless steel has a chromium content of between 10.50% - 11.75% and a nickel content of less 0.50%.
Why do we use 304 grade stainless steel piping for 4x4 performance exhausts? Because it is more resistant to rusting than ferretic based stainless steels such as 409. However, because of its low ferrous content, 304 can develop a golden colour when exposed to high heat over time. In fact, the ferrous metal content is so low that magnets won’t stick to it, making the identification of 409 and 304 grade stainless steel very easy.
Put simply, 304 grade stainless is the best value material used in the 4x4 exhaust game when strength, corrosion resistance and performance are at the top of your list of priorities.
Type 304 steel is engineered with chromium and nickel content and proves to be resistant to oxidation, corrosion, and durability.
Together with a polished finish - it is a great choice for your 4x4 offering excellent corrosion resistance from exhaust emissions, moisture and beach exposure.
All PPD Performance exhausts are designed to follow the same orientation and layout as the factory exhaust, making for easy bolt on installations. Our systems utilise the standard hanger locations, which means you don't have to use anything other than the factory rubbers.
