I was wanting to know if any one has had steering box problems. I broke the input shaft on my while i was out wheeling and was wondering is it time to up grade or was it a one of those things. I have a couple of boxes to replace the one i got but should i be looking for an upgrade and if so what have you guys upgraded with:confused:? I am running a 44 ebfront locker and 36" tires and a 4.0 THANKS:beer:

i ran a stock box with a full width 44 and 38s and never had a problem

I used to run that exact set up, locked EB 44, on 36in tsls, and a 4.0, no problems what so ever. The steering box is the same for all ford trucks, so it must have just been a fluke. Swap the steering boxes and hit it again.

35's...but yea..musta been a fluke..

Same shit here too....Try'r again and go from there.

'Nother vote for stout box/bad luck. :p

thanks guys i thought it was a fluke because i never heard of anybody else having any trouble with theres. I did tear it down this weekend and the input shaft is broken down inside the box.

Ran 40's with mine for a while, but have since went full hydro. Never broke the box or anything. Must have been somthing weird with your box???

I had a sector shaft break on me with 33"s and a locked dana 35. It was a junkyard box and the truck had some minor front end damage it came off of. I think the shaft was damaged in the accident and finally broke on me 10,000 miles after I swaped in in. Im just glad it broke when I was going 2 mph in the dirt instead of 70 on the freeway.

yeah mine broke while out wheel and layed it on its passenger side but it just added some charm to it:D
