Moving the axle rearward improves wheelbase and vehicle stability, but it leaves the factory bodywork unsupported and vulnerable to trail damage. Builders often find themselves cutting and modifying the rear corners to create the clearance needed for larger tires, increased suspension travel, and proper chassis packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Motobilt 6\" Stretch Corner Armor is designed specifically for Jeep YJ builders moving the rear axle back 6 inches. These corners provide protection and coverage for stretched wheelbase builds while creating a clean transition between the modified body and rear wheel opening. The design accommodates the body modifications commonly required when stretching a YJ and helps protect the quarter panels from rocks, trail obstacles, and tire contact during suspension articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from either 3\/16-inch A36 steel or 5052 aluminum, these corners are built to withstand the demands of serious off-road use. Whether your Jeep is a dedicated rock crawler or a highly modified trail rig, these corners provide the strength needed to protect the body while complementing the overall chassis layout of a stretched build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike many Motobilt products, these corners were developed from real fabrication experience. Builders pushing beyond factory limitations often need components designed around how modified vehicles are actually built. These stretch corners work perfectly with the Motobilt MB1231 series rocker guards, allowing builders to create a cohesive armor package while extending the wheelbase of their Jeep YJ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned and manufactured in the USA, the Motobilt 6\" Stretch Corner Armor provides a durable solution for builders looking to maximize wheelbase, improve capability, and protect the body during aggressive off-road use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eImportant Information\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits 1987-1995 Jeep YJ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for 6-inch rear axle stretch applications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAvailable in 3\/16-inch A36 steel \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with factory tail lights\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with drop-down tailgate MB1168\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorks with Motobilt MB1231 series rocker guards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntended for modified vehicles and fabrication-based builds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires cutting and body modification\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003cbr\u003e1987-1995 Jeep YJ\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial\u003cbr\u003e3\/16\" A36 Steel or 5052 Aluminum\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions\u003cbr\u003e18.5\" H × 11.5\" W × 65.25\" D\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight\u003cbr\u003eSteel Version: 95 lbs\u003cbr\u003eAluminum Version: 32 lbs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured\u003cbr\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRelated Motobilt Systems\u003cbr\u003eMB1231 Rocker Guards\u003cbr\u003eMB1231-FND Rocker Guards\u003cbr\u003eMB1231-S Rocker Guards\u003cbr\u003eMB1231-S-FND Rocker Guards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for Jeep YJ builds utilizing a 6-inch rear axle stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation requires cutting and modification of the factory body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTest fit all armor components before final welding, painting, or powder coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerify tire clearance and suspension travel during mock-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest results are achieved when paired with the MB1231 series rocker guard systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the purpose of 6\" stretch corner armor?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese corners are designed to provide body protection and proper panel coverage when the rear axle is moved rearward 6 inches on a Jeep YJ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy stretch the rear axle on a Jeep YJ?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMoving the rear axle back increases wheelbase, which can improve stability and climbing characteristics on technical terrain while creating room for larger tire packages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo these corners work with factory tail lights?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
