Ryan's right. Dodge steering box. The chevy box that was originally on the v-rig was a re-manned gm box and it really sucked. When driving the donor truck to Ryan's the Dodge steering was like butter and that's why I wanted to use it. Looking at them side buy side they are identical with the exception of the output shafts on the box's (one was threaded and one was not) which meant I couldn't use the skyjacker 6 inch drop pittman arm. The rag joint set up was different to. Thanks to Ryan with a lot of trial and error My steering is awesome. If I had the resources and the skill I would do crossover steering. Like Ryan told me this is definitely a area you don't want to skimp on.
