lol... It's not gonna make a difference unless it keeps your steering box from ripping away from the body... it is kinda to prevent problems before they are there

like said above ^, C-ROK has a good one, I have one on my Cherokee and once you see the replacement next to the stock piece, you'll realize it is a smart idea.

Thanks but it looks like when I get to building my front winch I could just tie it in. So I think that's what I'm going to do. Thank you for the help and the link
