Best price/value on steering box brace?

I would like to put the frame/steering box brace on my 94, and see that different companies make them. In your experiences, who makes the best valued one?

I got one from ebay, its one of the better known names I think I payed $160 for it. When I was looking ebay had two different ones, the other was around $200.

When you figure in shipping they're all about the same.

OK, that is a fair asessment. That is like most things. Now, is there one out there that seems to be better? Or is it such a simple fix, that all are comparable?

Ditto! LazarSmith came out a bit later than some others ...but made design imoprovements. Best one on the market, IMO.
I would have one if did not already have the DSS.

I have a DSS from Solid Steel Industries. I bought it through Source Automotive, in Oregon. Source was outstanding, fast shipment and military discount (not sure if it applies to you).

Just bought the steering brace from Defiant. Great so far. Priced below the others I looked at by about $10-$20. With shipping came to $195.00 or so. Put it on myself, took about 45 mins. Worth the money.

If Im not mistaken I got a DSS type brace from PSC about a year ago for only $130. They might have gone up by now im not sure but it seems to be made the same as DSS.

I just installed one. The PSC was the cheapest - $169, the DSS was $209 and the BD brace was $225.

Shipping was $21 on the PSC - I am very happy with it.
