What Is the Ford 4x4x2 Steering Box?

The Ford 4x4x2 steering box is a hybrid power steering solution that combines components from different Ford steering boxes to enhance performance in Early Broncos. Specifically, it involves:

• Housing: Utilizing the heavy duty casing from a 1978–1979 Ford F-150 or Bronco 4x4 steering box. This housing is favored because it mounts outside the frame rail, similar to the original Early Bronco setup, and offers increased strength and durability.

• Internal Components: Incorporating the worm gear and valve assembly from a 1980s–1990s Ford 2WD truck or van. These internals reverse the steering input direction, making the box compatible with the Early Bronco's rear-facing pitman arm setup.

This combination results in a steering box that offers improved strength, better steering ratios (typically around 17:1), and enhanced on- and off-road handling characteristics .
