Use Loc-tite on the bolts. What kind of shape was the spacer in? What's the condition of the TRE's?

Rustys steering box brace. Hands down, I love it. Even after snapping grade 8 bolts again and again, once I put it on, no more problems

I also have the JCR plate, very beefy and no complaints. I might go with the Durango box this spring and I'll get the JCR plate for the box when I do. Great company.
