I am still running the original 2020 steering box, 72k miles now. I did preemptively add a Synergy sector shaft brace at about 30k miles, or so.

Original steering box, over 10,000 miles on my JT, no issues at all.

was the synergy brace necessary?

Haha, I just edited my post. No, I did not have any issues, but I had run a similar brace on my Ram 2500 and it seemed like a worthwhile reinforcement of both the steering gear and the track bar bracket.

I haven't tried to get mine replaced. Seems okay but I'm still stock. Not sure if it would be worse on a 2"/2.5" lift on 35/37s.

Stupid question here - Its friday, and Ive already begun drinkng - Does anyone know how to check this? I have a 2021 model and was told by the dealership that it was not effected by the steering box shenanigans and have been operating under the assumption that it had the newer version installed.

If any of you have photos of a part number label / location something along those lines so I can check I would appreciate it. Be curious to see what Ive been working with.

My steering is generally pretty good, although I do have a pull to the right - Im pretty used to it, and I have a ton of stupid modifications - lift kit, track bar, steering stabilizer, etc so I just assumed that was my fault.
