Redhead steering box
I have a 99 xj on 33s with a stock box with jcr spacer. Stock box is fine for now but I'm sure the 33s will get to it sooner or later. I can probably get the stock box rebuilt if need be. Anyway I came across this box

Ive been hearing not to do the Durango swap due to inconsistency in the reman boxes. I know the redhead box is a reman but I'm hoping it is better built. If anyone is running one I'd like to know what you think.

I don't have one, but I know they rave about them on Ford truck forums. Ford trucks are famous for sloppy steering, and the Redhead steering box is considered The Cure.

Would I benefit from using a Durango box from redhead? I was also looking into TnT 4 bolt conversion for boxes with 4 bolts. Is this worth it considering the kit is around 200 something bucks?
It's a DD with occasional off road trips.

Agreed!
That part I don't know about. It's unfamiliar territory for me.
