So I ended up getting a Durango steering box and XJ tie rods. 41 bucks for everything.

no...but why would you not upgrade to a bigger solid tie rod at the same time? The XJ one is seriously tiny in comparison.

True... I will be going back for it than. It's only a twenty minute drive. Where should I order the box bracket from? RC?

Can the rubber boots on the tie rod ends be replaced? The one I found had ripped boots. That why I didn't get it.

Bro, we can celebrate the commitment of two others. We know you are in a tough spot and a lot of us have sympathized, offered up help and advice. I personally have prayed for you and your wife. I was very close to divorce. My wife had every reason to leave me too. I decided that she was the one I wanted to be with until "death do us part." I have spent that last four years pouring my heart and soul into my marriage. It is constant work, 24/7 work. I hope one day to become a marriage counselor of sorts. I run guys through marriage studies because I didn't get the manual on marriage when I said I do. And I haven't found a guy yet who hasn't appreciated a little direction. I know of some good resources if you or anyone else is interested. I love marriage and will fight to see mine and others thrive.
