power steering boxes?
So I need a new power steering box...I have read about the durango boxes being beefier but want to double check what to do before buying anything. What do you all think I should do?

I'm pretty sure the 98 Durango steering box is a direct bolt on, I haven't done it but it's something Id like to do. Other than that the next popular thing is a stock box with a steering brace

I did it.Direct bolt in,just have to use the Xj pitman arm instead of the Durango.Works great one of the best upgrades I have done to mine.Replace the spacer with a steel one while your in there

Holy ****!! I just priced a Durango box at Advance auto. $140 for the box WITH a $125 core.
Jesus they really want those cores back!!
You think they'd care if it was an XJ that was dropped off?

Forget that noise. Parts like that I would rather go new for the peace of mind. And warranty. Maybe for non-mechanical parts, or something I can rebuild easily, but for a steering box I'll go new.
Yeah, that was the plan. Or just make sure its in a box.
