Default JK Sector Shaft Brace

Ok here is what happened. I had a bent worm gear in my steering gear but, now I've had PSC fix problem for me. So my question is I have found a sector shaft brace from EVO (the link below) has anyone had/seen/heard of anyone having this and it being worth the money?

No I'm not, I just had them re-build my gear box. They put beefer parts in it for me. But I got a really good quote from them to re-build mine and port it and sell me all the other stuff to run hydro assist, which I may go back and do it if I run into the same problem again.

I thought they couldn't build a stronger box for the JK short of the PSC hydro assist. What did they do to the box?

Changed out everthing inside the box to beefer parts. You would really have to call them to find out what is all done to it.

WestTexasOffroad (Redneck Ram Hydraulic Steering Assist) rebuilds jk steering gears for their hyd-assist setup which is one of the best on the market. Their Stage II system comes with everything you need, installation hardware, etc including instructions for $499.00. They drill/tap for hyd hoses, install upgraded HD bearings Vs. the weak prone to problems OEM bearings. Call them, they can tell you what all is included specifically for the internals. Using a better built gearbox w/hyd assist omits the need of a sector shaft and for what they cost you could apply that $100 bucks or so to a hyd system. You can also upgrade from their standard 1.5" ram to their 1.75" ram which adds 1.4 seconds to a full end to end turn at idle, which would be great on the rocks and fine on the street as well.
