If its all welded in fine that should work then.

i like the idea... but with the tight quarters trying to stick a mig gun in there and helmet, i would worry about the heat pulling those sleeves out of alignment. bolting on a good spacer to keep everything true would be a good idea.

No cracks around the sleeves. They *look* good to me. Ran a straight edge across them and they seemed to line up. New box going in shortly.

Broken gear box ear.

Could the bolts be in a slight bind when you tighten them? Meaning there is a little bending on the ears of the box, which fatigue the ears causing the bolts to loosen and lead to the ear breaking? I know on my set up, if I dont tighten the bolts in a certain order, the box does not sit flush with the inner spacer.

Possibly, but I'm pretty good about tightening a little at a time.

Got another Box installed, wow what a difference! Tight steering again! Maybe the old box was just fatigued from years of beating on it?

Well, after some more investigation I found a pretty significant Crack behind the track bar. That was letting the front frame flex a bit. Since I had the steering gearbox reinforcement all of the force was going into the gearbox. Ditched that reinforcement and Did a little reinforcing today... hopefully that fixes my issue.
