I know we've talked about this several times, and I've been trying to search for the threads with no luck and I can't figure out why. Anywho, I need a new box for my 1998. I know people have talked about the jeep box for a quick ratio upgrade, but I'm pretty sure that only applies to like 88-94's due to something with the steering shaft.

I just want a tight, leak free box for my truck. Don't need fancy, don't need upgraded anything. If I could buy a brand new oem box I would, but that's not a thing. These mass produced rebuilds just slap new seals in as you cannot buy new gears to replace worns out ones inside the box. I don't want to deal with that crap, I'm tired of swapping boxes to find a good one. My original was great but started leaking like crazy, just want to get back to that box's feel.
