I did a little searching but didn't see anything... Brothers offers a power R/P steering kit and was wondering if anyone has installed it yet?

No Limits Engineering carries them and it looks like the one Brothers has is slightly more expensive. No Limit's has a truck build on here that they used to prototype and test the rack, lots of info about it in their build. The kit seems a little pricey to me for what you get but from the sounds of it, it makes a big difference... I would love to be able to get one some day... Here is their build http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=436621

Just my opinion,... for the money,... I would buy the new Pro Touring Dropmember from Porterbuilt Fabrication.
Many additional suspension gains, increased ground clearance, and it comes ready to bolt on a 79-93 mustang rack.

They are designed to use coil over shocks or air bags.

That was my first choice, and the best option... but that's some serious $$$$ when you add up everything it takes. And I'm happy with my suspension set up now (though obviously not as trick as Porterbuilt).

I just don't like the steering box (been through 3).

Here is the thread about R&P where Robs kit is intro'd. The assy pics start on page 5, and the price is listed on 7.

Looks exactly like NoLimit's kit, but $100 cheaper. The mild and touring DMs are sweet, too. Just know, both setups will require tubular control arms, so factor that into the price as well.

some of the kits will only work with tubular lower arms too, so look out for that.
