Title: Replacement Steering Box Borgeson or something else?
Post by: 86Rustbucket on August 23, 2023, 11:27:45 AM: It's time to replace the steering box on the 86 K10. Anyone have a long term review of the Borgeson Street & Performance Series, K-10, 12.7:1 Ratio steering box? Should I consider a RedHead or other brand instead.

Truck is sitting on 35's with 2 inch lift, all suspension and steering have replaced.

I guess no one has a review? :P

Can you please elaborate a little on this?
Are you saying that you got a Borgeson steering box and the correct Borgeson shaft and they don't fit together?
Or, are you saying the stock shaft doesn't fit?
I want to know what has been the problem with them. :D
