I think my next Gen 2 upgrade to my 89 will be the steering box. Lordtrunks reports better power assist with a 95 box in his gen1. My 89 is noticably harder to turn the 33's than my 95 when stopped. The 89 box has started to leak so the gen 2 box will replace it.

From what I understand from LT and Kevin C the bigger gen 2 box will need the top two mount bolt holes ovaled out slightly (.4") towards the center of the box. Other than that its direct fit. Larger shaft reqires use of the gen2 pitman arm.

I'll report back with pics when complete. It might be a while yet. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Afte that next up are a set of gen 2 upper contol arms and a set of 95 dual piston calipers both are sitting in the garage waiting to be installed.
