As the title states, I need a kit that comes with the ball screw, bearings and seals.

Imo you will be better off to buy the bigger box up grade then mess with the little one

Thumper when you say bigger box what are you talking about? a 3rd gen box??

Replace the gear assy. Don't rebuild for the cost of kit vs replace of assy, especially if more than leak or adjustment. JMHO

No, it is called DDs or something like that, comes with a bottom bearing that fit a steel bar that stradels the frame up front, Offers lot more support.

You mean a DSS, best thing you can do to save the life of your steering box, keeps the frame from cracking too.

Thanks Infidel,
I have one in my Trk. Happy with it, Too dang cold to go out and crawl under last night to get it right (name ).
The main pt the stock box and most of the steering in your (our ) Dodge is crapola. Replace with a BBD (bigger better deal LOL )

i realize i have to get a dss but want to avoid paying $500 for a steering box that i can rebuild myself. No point of getting a dss til this box is fixed.

DSS is the only way to go, sure did the trick for me!

the stock box will not help as it does not have the bottom bearing

The DSS is made to fit the stock box, it is not a box, just a support. I have never heard of a "bigger" box. What bigger box are you talking about? If the DSS will fit it it may be something of interest to me because I have the DSS.

I hear of lots of people going with a 3 turn box from NAPA. It seems after market
box's are getting hard to find though.
Thanks

Well..it is real dark here in down town Juneau..But I have a steer box in that the shaft comes out the bottom and a bearing is located there that attaches to the cross Piece...which attaches to both sides of the frame rails

Hows the dark treating you?
