I'm finally getting around to replacing the steering box on my '17 JKU Sahara. I'm tired of constantly correcting on the highway. I've been looking at a few options and some options are saying to stick with the OEM box (meh), but people are talking about RedHead or even the PSC upgrade. I do hit trails often enough and still want tight road manners. Appreciate your thoughts and I'm open to steering stabilizer pairings or tips for bleeding the new box properly
 
Truth is, the OEM steering box on the JKU was trash from day one...sloppy, underbuilt, and barely tolerable stock. Anyone recommending OEM is just settling. RedHead's great, but if you actually wheel, PSC is the real fix. Anything less and you're just masking Jeep's worst factory flaw.
 
The OEM box is junk, replacing it with another stock unit is just repeating the same problem. RedHead gives you tighter on-road feel, PSC is rock solid off-road. If you want balance, RedHead's the smarter play
