I've got the Redhead box. I'm happy with it.

Borgeson in my opinion but the problem is the redhead boxes are more available. Redhead boxes are good, The borgeson have a shorter ratio so have a more responsive/effortless feel when turning. Borgeson has been out of the 2nd gen boxes for a little, we have had them on back order for a while now... sold the last on in stock yesterday

I upgraded to a Borgeson box and have been very happy with it. The box does extend out a bit farther than the stock steering box, which required me to pickup a new steering stabilizer brace - http://www.custom-diesel.com/1994-20...-borgeson.html
