Your cart is empty.Our Frame Horn Gusset Kit was engineered to reinforce the failure prone OEM frame horn mounts. 6th gens have been known to take damage to the frame horn when using a winch or tow hooks during recovery scenarios. This kit installs to the frame horn using heavy duty grade 8 hardware. This enables you to run your stock or aftermarket front bumper’s winch and other recovery points with confidence. The heavy duty 1018 steel is finished in a dual-stage hammer black powder coat, and features a fully bolt-on installation. As always, this is Made in America.

Although not in the product description, ADD's customer service told me today that they are designed specifically to work with ADD's bumpers not others.My problems arose today while installing these gussets on a Ford 2023 Bronco, Badlands edition with the Capable bumper. My bumper attachment plates are backed by nut plates. I suspect most of the other Ford Gen6 Bronco OEM bumpers have a similar setup. The nut plates have nuts welded to them for the bumper bolts. These plates are held in place with a locating pin and a plastic nut. This makes installing the bumper mounting bolts easy. On some bumpers, it would be difficult, perhaps impossible, to install the bumper bolts without this nut plate because of limited access to this area on the back of the bumper mounting brackets.The ADD gussets do not fit on the frame horns with these nut plates. This necessitates modifying them by removing the mid-section of the nut plates or discarding them and using a straight bolt through, nuts, and washers. With my Capable bumper, this made bumper reinstallation very difficult.I did not ask to return them because I had my Bronco's front disassembled for installation of the Buckle Up Bronco winch mounting plate. I did not want to put everything back together then start over when I got different frame horn gussets. I forged ahead and modified the nut plates. That was a mistake.
