The variable ratio power steering box used on Wagoneers is a straight replacement, and dealing with 39" tires off road, would like the variable rate.Slop in the box and bellcoupler is an issue, but all the other things mentioned get made worse by putting on bigger tires. When I bought mine, steering all clapped out, switching from 33x12.50's to 33x10.50's made it almost like a new rig. Now that I have done some work to the steering, I'm planning on going to some 35" tires.But, with 84" of wheelbase, a CJ-5 will ALWAYS require a watchful operator. There was an element of truth in the hue and cry that was raised about the rollover issue. CJ's aren't/can't be driven like a passenger car.
