So I just noticed today that when j turn the wheel the whole section of unibody rail moves left to right about 1/4". It's also a little cracked right behind the swaybar bracket. I'm on 4.5" of lift and 31's with stock steering. I've got a zj tie rod and durango steering box to swap in but I don't want to untill I solve this issue. Any suggestions? I also have an IRO track bar if that matters

JKS makes a steering box repair kit that gets welded on. have done 2 myself and worked great

Would I still be able to use my durango box?

Gee oh Dee

So...your frame is actually moving? Or is it the spacer or box that moves?

katowkalin

yep we have a club member that done this with a durango box

The frame needs to be repaired and reinforced

C rock makes a good kit and put in a rango steering box while you're at it

I really like the JKS kit but will that reinforce it enough? I can grind out the small crack and weld it but I want a good reinforcement kit so this doesn't happen again when I go to 35's

crok doesnt make a repair kit. his kit is to help not create what BNJ has going on.
