Finally got my C-Rok steering bracket in. The frame was soooooo cracked and it sounded horrible when steering. Now it's silent and strong as hell!!

the durango box has a much bigger power cylinder than the stock XJ one, so it is stronger and a good upgrade if you go to bigger tires (or blow your stock box seals like I did).

I'm goin PSC when I can afford it. New box and pump/heat sink runs about $700. Ouch. Oh and yes we wended up the major cracks and ground flat so the bracket fit flush. This is one of the best products I have installed on the XJ. Great instructions and pretty easy to install despite my dreading it for a while, it went smooth.

agreed. Although drilling out the holes for the sleeves was kind of a PITA with just my little dremel.

Guess the spacers would make that a pita. How far out could you go before needing the durango box and bracing. I mostly am going to be running wherever I can and might go to r.c. once or twice when im finished. Like I only plan on running 31x10.5

you should be fine with the stock box. I only replaced mine because I blew the seals, so I upgraded at the same time.
