Same ratio, same effort, immensely better feel. The wheel turns and the truck turns, amazing!

I've rebuilt hundreds of OE steering boxes over the years. Pretty easy compared to other more complex components.

I am pretty sure the RedHead and AGR are rebuilt OE saginaw boxes. Some would say they are "blueprinted" compare to an auto part store rebuilt.

The OP list, what appears to be, a modern "Delphi" box. Sometimes call a "Jeep" box. They have superior on-center feel and a rack and pinion smoothness.

I think the knock is the 500 series is likely less HD than the 600/700 series steering boxes readily available for inside frame applications.
