Steering brace

That's a good find, if it will work; and, if not, the idea can be made to work by making the leg and welding or bolting it to the stock bracket.

Looks good. I have a factory one on a 91 Ramcharger and it looks very similar.

That brace will bolt right in there . . .. for the most part.

It appears to me that the Ramcharger's steering box is a bit different from mine (1993 W250).

I'm working off memory so bear with me .. . One of the top/middle bolts will require a good portion of it's head ground down so as to clear a hump in the body of the steering box (it's tight right there).
You will have to remove the steering box and its mounting plate so you can install at least one of the bolts holding the brace to the frame-rail.
