Default Steering sector shaft braces

I've heard about this potential issue on lifted jeeps with bigger tires. I recently ran with a friend running 35s and 4" lift and shaft broke. So having experienced it personally, I now am in the hunt to reinforce mine before I end up in same situations.
Seen a few different versions(EVOs, Rock Solid, JKS,others). Trying to decide which to go with.
I prefer it to be bolt on, no grinding or welding if possible. I'm running FT 3" lift with no mods to frame track bar mount at the moment.
Any experience or views on this?

I have the JKS kit installed. Works great with my setup. I don't think it will work with dropped pitman arms and does require welding the cross brace. I have the EVO draglink flip kit and it fully flexes fine. My buddy has the RSPCA kit with dropped pitman and is happy with his setup.
