Frame reinforcement for steering box

[PDQ]

I'm having my frame beefed up around the steering box (4x4x2 box) and eliminating the WCB bolt on plate in the process. Has anyone ever added a gusset to that area from the inside frame to the front of the crossmember? Seems like it would work well, but want to make sure I'm not missing a clearance issue for something.

Thanks!

Something like this?

No clearance issues. I’ve seen a few with it

That's the idea right there. Thanks GB. Is that the 4x4x2 box as well?

I have the 4x4x2 box but I used the BC Broncos frame reinforcement plate.Sorry about the pics but they're all I could find.

Yes it is the 4x4x2. I also have a BCB style plate on the other side and DOM tubing inside for the bolts to go through to avoid crushing the frame
