Default Steering Box Brace?

Which manufacturer is recommended Best Steering Box Brace? The kind that mounts between the passenger side frame and the steering gear box with a tubular support.

This will actually help me also because I snapped the steering box out of my truck a week ago. Im getting it welded right now and then gonna throw this brace in to keep it from happening again. Thanks

Welded? Whats being welded? I snapped 1 of the 3 bolts. Took them all out drilled and tapped for 7/8 bolt, all grade 8. Tossed them in there, installed the brace.

I was just thinking the same question. steering box brace? They all kinda look the same to me and yet they differ so much in price.
From my under standing. You have to drill a hole for their box brace. Is that true? If so how many holes?
