because I have bought from them before and they are not very precise and don't clean up there work very well and some of their welds are sloppy and I have ad burs on things from them, also bought a steering box spacer and the actual spacers welded to the bracket were ground crooked and o.e welded crooked and I have a hell of a time getting the bolt in

I had ordered the steering box brace from them as well and It wasn't a pretty part by any means but i was not expecting perfect. Everything on mine was square and everything lined up perfectly. I know installing it I was cursing lying on my back moving the steering box around and trying to install it.

That's what I want to hear! Hopefully mine will provide years of service....along with the drive train lol.

What color did you paint it if you don't mind me asking. I usually have everything black but my current tie rod is maroon just like the jeep. Not sure if I want to go that route this time around.

I'm in the process of doing this right now. Why is this not a "true" OTK?
