Sad 2nd gen dodge frames

hey guys been doing some research and came across the frame cracking at the steer box. Then came across alot of dodge frames cracking period just wanted some input i know its probally easy to weld up some stuff but im ocd and hate that kind of stuff unless needed so i will for sure be buying the Sinister Dodge 2500/3500 Steering Box Support 94-02 just wondering if that will use all stock boxes and shafts and also how bad are these frame im kind of scared now i dont wanna be stuck with just a motor let me know guys thanks.

Steering box brace is an excellent upgrade for your truck! You can feel the difference driving a truck with one installed on it

I haven't heard about cracking frames, not at all. The steering brace is an excellent investment though.
