Default Will a steering gearbox from an HD, Off-Road or Sport model fit my Light Duty 4WD LS?

I have oversize wheels and I brawl my truck pretty hard. However, she's got nearly a quarter million miles on 'er now, so the steering went all to hell.

I've just replaced the pump, gear box, pitman, idler, inner and outer tie rods, all with MOOG heavy duty parts. However, it turns out the remanned gear box was bad right outta the box, so that's gotta be done again.... (Fml...)

So here's my question... Can I slap a HD or other beefier gear box in there and have it just bolt right in, same supply line sizes and the like, or what?

Or does anyone have an aftermarket off road products company that they'd recommend I look into?

I WANT MY BABY BACK IN BRAWLING MODE!!!! LOL!!! HELP!!!??

Doesn't looks like it will work unless you can modify things.around.
