Default JKS Sector Shaft Reinforcement Kit Anybody?

Has anybody had this kit installed yet and if so how did it go?

I was trying to figure out how to do this very thing but it was "fab" intensive so I abandoned the attempt. I would have to get rid of my Monster track bar cause it would definitely interfere. The DOM aftermarket bars just fold up though so I would need to find a sturdy alternative.

I have gone though two steering boxes due to sector shaft slop and the third one is starting to wear now. If this solution is working for folks I would save up for one and a new trackbar

I was just having this discussion with someone else on another thread. Sector shaft reinforcement would be great, not sure who makes it though (besides JKS as you noted). I'm finding my steering wheel is quite a bit off after hard wheeling, and right now my pitman arm is extremely close to, if not contacting my sway bar at full driver side lock.

Dave, would this solve my problem of my pitman arm being way to far to the driver side? Or just prevent it from getting worse? The pic is of it about .5 inch from the sway bar. I think at full lock it contacts. Or is close...

I have been having problems with my steering wheel being off a few deg's left or right after wheeling in the rocks. I adj the drag link to get it back to cntr but not sure why this keeps happening. Has anyone else had this problem? Wondering if the the Sector shaft reinforcement bracket will help this Running stock Rucicon 2dr with 1.5 BB.
