    Is there any reason in particular you are looking at a Unisteer setup - clearance issue, want better road feel, or do you just want a rack & pinion?

    I ask because I read through a bunch of reviews when I was looking to upgrade my steering and the unisteer didn't stand out as a stellar setup. I found quite a few complaints about turning radius and quality, so I looked elsewhere. I ended up going with a borgeson box - it gives a bunch more clearance, is tons tighter than the stock steering box (feels better than by Dakota that has a R&P), and weighs ~12lbs less than the stock box. I am extremely pleased with the borgeson box. Just my :2cents:

    If I was you I would spring for the TTI headers or find a used set.  :2cents:

    Everything else will fit and work as intended...

    My only experience with headers in my ebody was 20 years ago and the Hooker headers were a real POS.  The seemed to always leak, were loud, clearance sucked, and the worst thing was that the drivers side had three tubes that went under the center link (who came up with that idea???).

    Since then I am a big fan of stock style manifolds...less noise and leaks than headers....and that is why I am also wanting to go with the Grand Cherokee manifolds.

    Has anyone actually used the GR Cherokee manifolds with the Gen III in an ebody?

    So...what is the REAL STORY on the TTI Headers? 

    How are they routed with the Gen III Hemi? 

    Are they leak prone?

    Will the stock steering box work without the "Quarter sized dimple" being pounded into the primary tube?

    As of right now . the headers work the issue is the steering box  .... I have tried both the manual and power boxes. 
    Has ny one used a new flaming river or the boreson ????? By the pics I not sure... I have the specks on the boreson  but need to know if they are tighter to the frame ?????? header hits the top of the box on the pass side of the box ......on bothe factory boxes.
