Borgeson 12.7:1 Street & Performance Steering Box - 1988-1998 Chevy/GMC C1500

If your OBS truck's steering feels like you're stirring a pot of gravy, it's time to ditch that mushy factory box for a Borgeson Street & Performance Series steering gear. Borgeson has been building steering components in the USA since 1919, and their Street & Performance boxes are the gold standard for guys who want a truck that actually goes where you point it.

Here's the deal: your factory GM steering box came in somewhere around a 16:1 to 20:1 ratio, which was fine for grocery-getting but leaves a ton of slop and a small novel's worth of arm-twirling required to get through a parking lot or a tight canyon road. This Borgeson box drops that down to a quick 12.7:1 ratio, meaning less turning, faster response, and a much more direct connection between your hands and your front tires. Combine that with Borgeson's tighter internal tolerances and you get a box that eliminates the dead-spot-on-center feel that makes OBS trucks wander down the highway.

This is a true bolt-in replacement for your factory recirculating ball steering box - no cutting, no adapters, no drama. It bolts straight to your factory frame mounts and connects to your factory pitman arm and steering column using the stock hardware locations. If you've got power steering (and let's be honest, who's running manual steering on a daily driver truck), this box is designed to work seamlessly with your factory pump and lines.

Borgeson builds these boxes new in-house, not remanufactured cores with a fresh coat of paint. That means fresh seals, fresh bearings, and zero surprises down the road. Whether you're running a mild weekend cruiser, a lowered street truck, or a truck that sees some spirited backroad driving, this steering box wakes up the whole front end and makes your OBS feel like a truck from a decade newer.

Fitment: 1988-1998 Chevrolet/GMC C1500 (2WD). Direct bolt-on replacement for the factory steering box - no fabrication required.
