I am looking into Serious Offroad's utk one ton steering. I would also like to upgrade the steering box. My question is what steering box would be an upgrade from the stock one. I read about the durango box being a beefier upgrade. Is there a certain year I should look for.

If Your asking for a suggestion for an upgrade over stock...Psc motorsports steering box. Dont waste your time with your Chinese reman garbage from parts stores. Been there. Done that. With the psc box i have such firmer tighter steering. No more floppy reman bs. Its pricey, ill tell you right now. For me i cant put a price on overall handling / drivability/ safety/ DW prevention . You might be ok with a reman. IMO its a crap shoot if you get a decent box. Good luck with it.

Absolutely man. I went with their road series 14:1 ratio box. That plus crossover steering using 1.5" tubing w/ knuckles and pitman arm drilled out to fit 3/4" bolts im very pleased. No steering shock= no problem. Im all for doing it right once and being done with it. I suppose the issue w/ reman these days is just poor quality control and lack of precision.
