steering box brace
 
Just got the brace in and going to install it ASAP. From what I have read they do seem to help the wandering problem quite a bit.

Let me know because I was thinking about one...

got it installed
 
I installed the CD steering box brace (looks like they are all built the same from looking at the pictures) and it really did help to tighten up the steering. Pretty much eliminates the wandering feeling in the front end. I cannot detect any binding in the shaft extension through the bearing carrier so looks good. For the money this is a very good mod and I would recommend doing this to any 3rd gen truck with 4X4.

The steering box brace is an AWESOME upgrade for and 2nd or 3rd gen trucks. Steering tightens up big time, and you lower your chance of death wobble.

Nice. I'll have to add that to the list....

How long did it take to install? Mine should be in any day now. Thanks

It took me about an hour because I was really concerned about getting the bearing carrier aligned properly to keep the sector shaft extension from getting in a bind. Now I could do one in about twenty minutes.

This little mod is definitely one of the best things that can be done to the truck. Steering tightened up nicely and stopped the wandering. If the brace is installed and no lifts and big tires/wheels are added the steering components have a good probability of working well for a long time. Adding the brace is definitely recommended.
