HMG Brace Kit +100mm

One of the smartest and most cost-effective upgrades you can make to your Warn 8274.

The Warn 8274 is legendary for its performance, but it's also well known for cracking the mounting faces on the two lower housings. This typically occurs during off-angle recoveries, where side loading causes the housings to twist out of alignment. As the load increases, excessive stress is placed on the mounting faces, often resulting in cracked housings and expensive repairs.

Our weld-on brace kit is designed to eliminate this common weak point by tying the two lower housings together. This creates a rigid, square structure that helps prevent the winch from twisting or being pulled out of alignment under heavy loads.

Maintaining correct housing alignment not only protects the mounting faces but also helps extend the life of the drum bushes, which rely on the housings remaining square for smooth operation and reduced wear.

Whether you're competing, tackling challenging recoveries, or simply want to strengthen one of the most vulnerable areas of your 8274, this is a fit-and-forget upgrade built to last.
