Default track bar reenforcement

i have read threads on the front axle track bar bracket breaking off with a lift. i was planning on using gussets to reenforce this location in an attempt to avoid any problems in the future. i havent seen anything mentioned about a kit to reenforce this weak location so to advise everyone BDS does make a track bar bracket reenforcement kit. i just received my two kits one for the front axle and one for the rear. BDS stated that it may possibly be used on the rear. There are two pieces of 3/16 in steel to be used on the bracket. they both are welded on to the axle and bracket. i have not done the install at this time. so i do not have any pics. just wanted to pass it on to other jk owners.

I am reinforcing the rear. I was going to reinforce the front as well, but it looks solid to me (at least a lot more solid than the rear). I would like to see what you do - please post some pics when you can.

Here's mine for the rear.

I made it myself and welded it myself
This is before I painted it black
