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.

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.

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.
