I'd get a factory replacement, nothing fancy or "better". Then a steering box brace for sure.

Agreed! Just an aftermarket replacement steering box will do. Most parts stores will have them on the shelf. It'll make a huge difference in steering for you!

I'm also in the market for a new one. I have been looking into the Borgeson box and that is probably the one I'll also be purchasing.
