Redhead steering box
Only if your steering box is not up to spec. It won't solve any steering/driving problems being caused by ball joints, hubs, sway bar, sway bar end links, bushings, tie rods, etc.

I think the Excursion forum is leading the pack with the most interest right now.
From what I've read in the Excursion forum here on FTE, it will make a improvement. I'm tired of it and I'm on a mission to make the Ex drive straight.

That being said, I'm still not satisfied with mine. So, Redhead it is!

Everything in Stinky's nose is new and snug... and I mean everything - but the steering gearbox (that has already been adjusted). After 299,800 miles, I think I got my use out of the box. The steering pump was replaced a couple of years ago as well, and I haven't spent any real money on Stinky since Christmas - not even fuel. With the Buck$Zooka trigger lock in place for so long and no personal time available for months, the armory is stocked and I see no reason to put this off any longer. I am one of thirty that is a hard confirmation. Just let me know what you need from me.

I'm 100% completely pleased with this box. I've read good things and seek awesome results in my pickup and will refer them to abyone in need. and I'm hoping it lasts for years to come.
The Job wasn't too bad, just need to make sure you have someone help you remove the last bolt that way the box doesn't fall on you. Also getting the Pitman arm off was kind of a hassle and the power steering lines back on wasn't too hard but gave me some trouble.
Also the core money took a little over a week to get back so be patient when you do order and they'll give you your core I had to call them twice just to confirm that they were on it. Also When you ship your core back get a tracking number that way everybody can be on the same page !!

I don't know how good this is but over in the 6.0L section they've been having some problems with the redhead box over the last two years or so. Seems the older ones are better. Just thought I'd post up. I've always wanted a red head to but now I'm thinking twice first.

No, I need to give RHS a two week notice before customers can start calling in. they will only give us a three day window for everyone to call in.
