Crap sorry. That was added and I did quickly skim the post. Missed it I did some reading on adjusting the box last night and from what I see it's not the right thing to do. Basically a bandaid and will accelerate wear. But... If it helps and if the box is going anyways - screw it.

One post I read said to crank the tires to the left and use a pry bar between the frame and pitman arm to check for play. If you hear a "click" the box is def going.
