I switched mine out to the Fox 2.0 for the the same reason being light . What a difference I couldn't be happier .Here’s my experience:
2019 JLU Sahara. Had original steering gear replaced with 2nd generation aluminum box. Much better but once warmed up and on hot dAys a lot of play and dead spot.
had new steel steering gear installed in January as I figured this would be the fix. Initial reaction was that I was very disappointed. 2” plus dead spot and heavy wandering. Looked at the work and noticed they used the old aluminum box bolts not the new bolts. Also could not confirm software update done.
Went back a month later and had correct bolts changed and asked to Reflash/confirm software update for steering gear. Got it pack and so much better. Dead spot gone and tracks well. Guessing software update wasn’t done previously. Very happy but still a bit disappointed in the feel as it seems lighter than I prefer.
Final step: ordered Falcon 2.1 TS steering stabilizer and installed today. Awesome! Between the new steel steering gear and New falcon stabilizer, I can finally say that my steering feels how it should. I am very happy as the steering has really bothered me for about 1.5 years and now it is where it should be.
Ridiculous the amount of time effort needed to deal with this, but I really love my Jeep and so glad I can stop worrying about steering issues (at least for now).
