i have a a Lares box on my Burban that I got through Summit at their recommendation. Lares was very helpful in identifying the box the PO had installed. I also have a Redhead box on my S10. Both have been without problems.

One thing to consider is that none of the currently available pressure hoses are correct for our trucks. They will fit but you have to either modify the inner fender well or significantly reshape the hard line where it attaches to the box. If you stay with the flared line box you can have your old line rebuild at a hydraulic shop and avoid the issue.
