Default front or rear frame stiffeners?

I need some opinions here... already installed a set of center frame stiffeners on my 99' xj. The install wasn't as tough to install as I assumed it would be. So, now I'm ready to continue with either front or rear stiffeners... which would have more value? fronts or rear? I assume it would be the front stiffener due to weight or attachment points?

Definitely front. There's much more stress up there from the steering and motor.
