Been a LONG time since I looked into the Durango box "upgrade". Iirc just lots of mixed reviews. I might just pick up a new XJ box and maybe tap it for hydro assist.

I did not. The steering box issue along with shipping products and just overall busyness kept me from getting anything done this weekend. Current task is prepping the frame rails for the stiffeners first. Doing front, middle, and back so it should be fun

I'm not a welder myself either, but luckily I have some Jeep buddies who are

Well no glamorous parts showed up today. Just fresh ubolts for when I swap the leafs. Ruffstuff hands down wins the award for best packaging. Took a solid 5 minutes to dig these out of the box. Decided against a stretch in the rear for now. I have a feeling when the Notch flares arrive the tire will sit in just about the perfect spot.

Look up to doing the S-10 steering box upgrade. They also have the z62 or something s-10 box that is different than the regular steering box. Just as good as the Durango box but you dont lose the lock to lock steering that you do on a durango.
