Steering box Options for my mall crawler

[Shimmy]

My box is currently leaking pretty bad on the steering shaft side. It started a little bit after I installed my hydroboost w/saginaw. Did a quick search and folks are recommending a rebuild or something beefier. I'd rather just replace the entire box and start fresh. I don't offroad my bronco, so i'm wondering if the below are good options and which one you guys would choose?

1977 on 35s, currently has the stock power steering with saginaw pump

Cost isn't much of an issue, but i also don't want to spend $800 when a $500 box will do just fine. I also dont want to have to redo couplers/fittings, joints to make any of these boxes fit. Call me lazy... i just don't have a lot of time to tinker with the bronco and i'd rather be out driving the family around in it.

Toms is the only one listed that you dont need a new input u-joint.

CJ doesn't list the input shaft size on the first one, so I would call and verify first. It also "looks" weak for 35's compared to the other two.

I have the middle one. I put in a whole new tilt column and a new collapsable shaft at the same time, though.

any reason you went with the Borgensen box over Tom's box?

I went with a Borgeson box because it’s all new parts and it was $500

Ahh I stand corrected then. It is a reman.. anywho still a nice box at a nice price point. I didn’t wanna pay the bronco “tax” to have an original box that’s still reman.. so the Borgeson box fit the bill.

it was on sale at CJ Pony at the time. I don't think Tom's had that box at that time either.
