Steering boxes

I've been looking at rebuilding, vs going with a rebuild from this company for my jeep.
Is this a good company, good product?

Is it your pump or box with problem? Pumps are dirt cheap.  If slop the adjuster nut on box will clean up some.  Rockram great addition for larger tires.

It is slop in the box, pump is good. I adjusted about a quarter turn on the nut about 2 years ago and it helped some.
I heard the Adjustment was suppose to be performed on the bench with a few other adjustments though.
The jeep has turned 355,000 miles, so I figured rebuild time.
