HMG Brace Kit +76mm

One of the smartest and most affordable upgrades you can do to a Warn 8274 is a weld on brace kit.

Warn 8274 winches are legendary, but they’re also well known for cracking the mounting faces on the two lower housings. This usually happens when winching off-angle. As the load pulls sideways, the housings are forced out of square, overloading the mount faces and often breaking them—resulting in a painfully expensive repair.

Our brace kit eliminates this weak point by tying the two lower housings together. This creates a rigid, square structure that mirrors the strength of the front housing, preventing the winch from twisting or being pulled out of alignment under load.

By keeping the housings square at all times, the brace kit not only protects the mounting faces but also significantly increases the life of the drum bushes, which rely on proper alignment to survive hard use.

This is a fit-and-forget upgrade designed for serious recoveries, competition use, and anyone who relies on their 8274 when failure is not an option.
