Default Chassis bracing questions

1. Will a hitch add some chassis stiffness specially in the rear?
2. Is there any rear strut bar for XA?
3. Where can we buy the TRD rear brace?

I do have the front strut brace and lower h brace but would like to add some bracing in the rear.

the most important part on our car is the rear. If you don't have that tied down then your most likely going to end up pushing. There are no REAL strut bars for the rear and i wouldn't recommend what they sell out there, its all SHOW and NO GO!! The TRD rear frame brace can be kind of tricky to get your hands on, you might wanna search google and this forum to find someone that sells them or knows someone that does. I was lucky enough to get one from Wraith when he still had them available, its an amazing piece and i STRONGLY recommend. As well as with the rear sway from progress a BIG must if you want to handle better. I have EVERY single suspension piece on the market for the xA, next step is turbo charging and customization, like roll cage and engine internals.

I don't think a hitch will help, but it will add some weight in the rear
