Tired of leaving cardboard on the garage floor. Does anyone have a steering box lying around that they'd sell? They are pricey at the parts store.

I also heard that a Dodge Durango steering box is a direct bolt on. Does anyone know the year it must be?

Thanks.

I think J33P has done this conversion, maybe he can share his experience.

I did the conversion on my TJ frame. It reduced my steering travel so I went back to my YJ box.

A YJ box will also bolt on and are more leak resistant.

Hmmm. I saw many write ups for replacing the YJ box with a Durango too. Why would people do that if the YJ box performs better than the Durango?

If a stock YJ goes in, maybe someone has one of those laying around in decent shape?

The durango box made steering with my 34's so easy. direct bolt on. I paid 75$ for mine at the junkyard. YJ ones bolt in as well if you find one is good condition.

I did it (with Brad's help as it was my first thing I ever did outside of changing oil). It's a direct bolton as long as the Jeep is older than 2003 and also a bigger barrel . There are two Durango steering boxes you can get. I think the Snowplow option decreases the turning ratio a bit.
