My 01" Ford Excursion Thread

What does your steering feel like? I am running 37s on my excursion and have replaced my steering gear multiple times, 2 of the times were with Red Head steering gears. I have now done the 05+ coil spring conversion, the newer style box was great for a few weeks but I have since worn it out with just normal driving. My next plan is to install hydro assist steering with a new red head box... Your experience?

I am still running the factory steering box and have had no issues thus far (fingers crossed). I have not used Red Head steering gears but have heard good things about them. I have set up a number of vehicles with hydro assist steering when running large tires and it does work well. One main function is to remove the stress from the sector shaft of the steering gear and the associated bearings. If I were you I would be looking into why the steering gears you have used are wearing out so quickly, they should be lasting far longer obviously...
