ZJ Radiator support, worth it?

[amuddyzj]

Alright guys I am trying to pick up the essentials to put on a zj for some trail riding. Since I can't afford a lift and tires and such, I'll work with what I got. So I found this site which specializes in ZJs, XJs and WJs. My factory support is bent in so I figured it might be a good idea to get a better, stronger one (if it is) ad also I need recovery points. Any help would be great!

UPDATE: Further looks at the support and what is bent on the front has made me decide that the support wouldn't solve the problem.

So if the lower crossmember is bent in (its not penetrating the radiator, close, though, real close) is there anything i can do? Thanks alot guys!

1. remove bumper facade (plastic painted bumper)
2. attach chain or rope to bent crossmember
3. pull hard enough to straighten the crossmember
4. replace bumper facade
