The box is the same, only the center link and pitman arm are different between stock PS and manual. Aftermarket kits offer the jeep boxes or rack setups but a properly built box with good suspension parts will be 100% better then factory set box. Of course this is my opinion since I rebuild these but I'd look around before making a decision.

Hmm...anyone got the compartive dimensions for the two arms? Since I'm using a manual drag link for my Jeep Box conversion, I might as well get the Jeep arm bent to match the manual pitman arm, not the P/S arm that I have.
