This Steering Box Bracket H.D.
(Heavy Duty) is designed to fit 1987-1995Jeep® YJ Wrangler vehicles and will
move the steering gear forward 1”. Depending on the type of steering shaft your Jeep has , it may be
necessary to replace or modify the steering shaft ( see figure 7). Please read and understand all instruc-
tions before installing. Due to the fact that this bracket is over 300% stronger than the stamped steel factory
bracket, the stress loads of large tires will be transferred directly to the frame. Because of the strength of this
bracket, your frame should be checked often for signs of cracking and stress.
FIT and TOLERANCES: This kit is the result of countless hours of research, testing, fitting and refining.
Jeep® frames have a wide tolerance on bolt hole centers from frame to frame. In addition to the factory toler-
ances, most people install other then factory equipment (i.e.: steering gear boxes, bumpers, springs, winches,
shackle reversal systems, etc.) M.O.R.E.™ has done the best job we can to insure that this part fits with sev-
eral of the possibilities. However, you may find it necessary to modify (i.e.: grind, elongate, bend, or force)
the parts in this kit, or other parts on your Jeep®, to fit on your rig. Please use common sense when install-
ing these parts and understand that once you modify this part in any way, shape or form, it is not returnable.
STEP 1:
Disconnect the power steering hoses, drag link and steering linkage. Remove steering box
and bracket from frame. Retain factory bolts for use later. (See figure 1)
STEP 2:
Install heavy duty bracket with factory bolts through the bottom of the bracket and 7/16” x 4
1/2” bolts with washers through top holes. (See figure 2)
STEP 3:
Install 1/4” thick plate spacer as shown. (See figure 3)
STEP 4: Install 1/4” and 3/4” round spacers over threaded mounting holes as shown. (See figure 4)
STEP 5: Loosely install 3/8” thick offset plate as shown over spacers. Use the 7/16” x1 3/4” bolt with
a washer through the 3/4” spacer and the 7/16” x 1 1/2” bolt with a washer through the 1/4’ spacer. (See fig-
ure 5) We recommend using thread locker on all bolts.
STEP 6:
Install steering box over the bolts sticking through the frame an heavy duty bracket. Install
7/16” washers and nuts onto bolts. (See figure 6)
STEP 7: Insert 1 1/4” spacers between the steering box and heavy duty bracket on the lower 2 holes
and install factory bolts. (See figure 7) You may now tighten all hardware.
STEP 8:
Install sway bar clamp onto lower side of heavy duty bracket using the factory bolt in the
