True... what we actually "need" in life is much less than what we "want" in life. However, life would be pretty boring if we only focused on our needs.

Not really. Material things that are perfect aren't going to make you happy in the long run and that goes for money too. And believe me; I've been on both sides of the fence. What I said was; "you don't really need THAT much". And that includes a few toys to keep you entertained.

LOL! Why didn't I think of that... You know, there is a big difference between 35" tires and 40"-41" tires. But I like the way you think!

I have the same steering problem and will probably get a Red Head at some point. What bothers me is the spline count. Huge margin for error. I found these tag codes (cast into the body) on another site that sells boxes. SPA-KN=9 splines and SPA-JN=8 splines. I haven't checked mine yet but can anybody verify this?
Thanx.
Thanx.

Does anyone know how a new redhead box handles compaired to a brand new auto store box?
I hear the redhead is good, but i never heard the auto parts stores being bad...320 bucks and doing all the shipping, or 175 bucks from advance auto and go right in and get it off the shelf.....

Perhaps, but i called the red head guy to ask about pricing, and he ended up explaining to me how he remans the gears using hand-matched parts and bearings to get better than factory fitmen. Really nice guy and I was impressed by what he said. I like buying from companies where i can call them and speak to an actual person.
