Depends on what you're going to do with your truck. Plenty of people run 33s with the stock steering setup.

:agree: If you intend on doing some intense wheelin', then you will need it, but for DD and occasional offroading you shouldn't.

I'm going to disagree with the above.

 

The frame rails where the steering box mounts is under a great amount of stress (even with 31's). I've seen them crack on a XJ/MJ that is not often wheeled with a set of 31's. In my opinion adding a steering box support plate (as well as a brace) is one of (if not the best) preventive maintenance things you can do to your rig.

 

If/When that area cracks it's not easy/fun to fix it. A support plate is cheap insurance, even if your only running 31" tires!

Yup. Rick had a crack develop in his old 86 and it was rust-free and running 31s. Some sort of support along that frame rail is a good thing.
