I've got the EOE brackets on mine. Trust me, they are definitely stronger than anything you can get out there. If I remember correctly, it's 3/16" steel, and has a brace against the frame to prevent flexing. Todd also coats them in POR-15, which is damned near indestructible. Definitely check them out.
To clarify: the EOE HD brackets are made from 1/4" steel and the additional gussets/brace that is welded to the frame bracket is 3/16". As far as I know all the kits out there include brackets and a stabilizer, the EOE HD kit includes the recommended Rancho steering stabilizer for the X/Frontier. The brackets are coated with POR15 for the ultimate in durability and we are now top coating them with a Hammertone dark gray finish.
