My 05 went through 2 steering gear box in 70k miles. I'm pretty sure that the oversize 315 tires had much to do with this, and I'm planning on keeping the stock size rubber on this truck as it drives soooo nice compared to my other setup.
Has anybody used this stabilizer? I'm thinking about preventative maintenace as the steering gearbox seems to be the weak link on the front end.
take a look

seems nice, ive never heard much of them though...ive heard of people going with a larger/better dampner shock though...but this may be better.

 

I had one of these on my old 2001.5 truck. It was probably one of the single best mods I ever did to the truck. It made the steering tighter than it was when the truck was new. I plan on installing one on my 05 at some point.

 

Most places call that a sector shaft support or similar. The nicest one I've personally seen so far is from Defiant. Here's the link:

I do not know about this but I do know that PSC makes and sells quality parts. I have been running the their powersteering pumps and ram for Hydro-Assist on my rockcrawler with no problems. By the time I hit the rocks next season I will have their full hydro steering on my rig.
