Steering box brace good or bad?
 
Is this type of brace worth it? ive read good things about limiting flex of the box on the frame, but then I read that it pulls the other side and when the chassis flexes it makes the box flex... so? :thumbup1: or :thumbdown: ??

anyone have experience with a bad thing caused from this?

good. And with an offroad bumper with proper mounts that extended back on the frame you dont get any flex

ok, I do have an aftermarket bumper with 3/16th's plates that go back about 6 inches and bolt threw with the steering box, I also have a steering box spacer from JCRoffroad.

forgot to put a pic in my first post...(this type)

if you have the JCRoffroad brace and the bumper then I would not worry about it honestly
