Steering gearbox ?

My gearbox on my 07 is leaking pretty bad and curious what everyone thinks is the best fix ? There's no steering wander so should I get a rebuild kit and just replace the seals OR go buy a new box ? Autozone has one with a lifetime warranty for $137... But would rebuilding the stock box be more durable ?

Get a steering box brace BEFORE installing your new or rebuilt steering box. If you want the best steering box, apparently RedHead steering boxes are top grade but even those can be helped with a steering box brace like the one linked below. I really like the Borgeson steering box I put on my 2001 - check link below for that as well.

Red Head by far is definately not the best. Id get one from vato zone b4 i got a redhead(now a days). Borgeson or PsC or even a 4th gen box

I've not read anything bad about the Redhead stuff, but like I said, the Borgeson I bought was real nice. On the other hand, I have read about issues with PSC boxes but maybe those were reviews from a couple years ago. Been a while since I looked into steering boxes.
