Yup I had already looked into it! It's exactly what you said. XJ pitman arm on the Durango box. I would also put a steering box brace in as well. Even though I only plan on running 31s, heavier duty steering never hurt anyone! Thanks man! Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

Your welcome man! I think you also need to add a CB radio to that list and more importantly.....installing your OB emblems!!
