I looked at it and thought it was a great idea until it came to the part about cutting off the steering shaft. The welded coupler should have been included from the very beginning. I would think it would be cheaper for them to make the coupler instead of the adapter they have now anyway.
Besides, then it would be truly "bolt in"...

I think this is the only reason holding most of the mopar community back from buying it...

This is the reason why the Mopar community is abandoned by the aftermarket, all the pissin and moaning. Find another column shaft to cut and save the numbers matching golden nugget shaft for a rainy day. Or do what Booger did. It is an expensive box though. Borgeson products as a whole are over priced.
Mopar to the bone!!!

I'll reward inovation for something I need, especially if it saves me time, money, modifying my original parts, or all of the above, and will be the first in line to buy from the first guy who comes to bat with something complete. Such as in this case, a true bolt in no modification steering box upgrade. Offer a ready to use no welding or steering column modification required bolt in coupler, a bolt in box with no clearance grinding required, all of the appropriate hoses and fittings (and even pump if required) credit card in hand awaiting the call.

After 50 yrs we have a decent alternative to the dinosaur steering box we have been stuck with and it should also be cheap and bolt in.
Actually, not IMO. I'd be happy with either or, but would prefer and pay more for one that simply bolted in. The current price tag PLUS the fab work? No thank you!
