Just swapped out steering box with a quick ratio and I was going that route too. But the cost vs benefit was questionable. Couldn't find a used one and refused to pay new prices. So I bought the replacement rag joint with bolts, figured for $15 I would just try it first and then if I hated it I wasn't out a lot of money. A bit of work to grind those rivets out but once I got it back on, ZERO play and glad I didn't spend the money. Works perfect now.
