Good thread.
I've been considering this upgrade to.
As far as the 1/4 spacer I'm sure I can make something as usual.

I've never done this before myself but I would check how the stock aluminum spacer fits on the Durango box first and see where it would need the washers.

I'm mobile ATM so I can't really see the links that Frank posted.

Well I put my Durango box in over the week end and I have some mix feelings about it. It seems like the steering is a little smoother but, a little harder to turn the wheel. I had to pop my pitman arm off a couple time to get my steering equally turning to both sides but I having I guess I'm going to have see how it does on the trail to tell the real difference. But I will have to get a alignment because I had to replace to tre. So ill keep everyone updated
