Steering Box brace
 

I had a C rock one but you needed to add washers to run a durango box. (bigger) - So I fabbed up my own, used 1" round on the lathe. Boom done.

Coffin Box brace

Wanna make another? Haha

Do you have measurements for the locations of the holes? Or did you just fab it to fit?

Good job, I'll possibly be stealing this idea when I do my durango swap. That and possibly a brace across the front end to the pitman arm spindle on the steering box.

I presume he just took the old spacer, marked holes onto a flat plate that's cut to shape, and weld some 1" round on it.

That would work. I was thinking of getting some short sections of all-thread into the holes, putting the right size tube stock over the threads, butting a plate against em to tack em on, remove and finish welds, drill holes.

yep, had the OEM spacer, used that to mark the holes.

I actually had the front unibody frame from an XJ that I used to mock up bumpers... I checked it for fit and hole locations off of that. Its all good.

if you have a drill press that would be a good way to go.

My life would be so much better if I had a drill press haha or an actual marking set. Between a tape measure, a sharpie, center punch and my luck, id be fortunate if I could drill a hole within 1/8" of where I wanted it. I wish I had all these ideas when I had a full shop at my disposal in high school.

on the "2DO"list!!! what year durango sb are you using?

LOL.

I totally hear you.

Just a Durango I found at the Junk yard. I donno 99??
