Steering issues
I have been having a issue with my steering gear box since I bought it. bought it with a lift already installed with 33's. I took it wheeling and my gear box kept twisting to the point where it broke one of the bolts so I lost some steering. I fixed it and reinforced both sides of the frame with steel plating. I can tell it still wants to twist and I was thinking I needed a drop pitman arm. Any ideas?

I can't get the pictures for a couple days since It's parked at a friends house. I can say that I need an alignment and my tir rod is not parallel with the axle.

I did buy and install a steering brace but it doesnt seem to help much. The driver tire needs to be straightened with an alignment. I'm pretty sure the angles are out and its putting too much pressure on the gear box.

That's what I put on it. but the box moves it up and down. I see that one has a bolt on the side which mine doesn't...
