Steering Box Brace??

I was reading this book about thirdgens and it mentioned a bunch of the major weak points of their construction. The steering box mounting surface cracks and stuff after a while because of all the pressure put on it by the power steering box?? Ive never seen anything on here about people installing these braces before, just wondered if any of you had them.
