hey all as you may have noticed in my other post on here it is time for a new steering box. so im going to do what every jeeper does and upgrade it! from what i read i need a box from a 98-99 durrango with the v8?? my questions are as follows...:
1/ since there are 3 mount holes on the durrango and 4 on the yj is there any need to weld a 4th mount to the box?
2/ is there any difference between the box with the snow plow and without the snowplow package? i read that the one with the snow plow package has hydraulic ports for the plow? is this true? if so am i able to block them off for the time being as in the future i want to run a hydraulic winch... or would i be better off just plumbing it in with pressure hose when i get to that point?
3/ will the steering shaft mount and my yj pitman arm mount straight up?
4/ could i mount a steering box brace onto the durrango mount if i wanted too or would i need to fabricate one of my own?
5/ are the remanufactured boxes from advance auto parts (fenco) good or is there a better place to get them?
if there are any other questions i think of i will surely post them but as of now this is all i can think of at the moment... thanks again in advance everyone your help/opinions are greatly appreciated!
