Have you just bought this?
The existing box is as heavy duty as you will get for a stock system. Get someone to rebuild it.
Has the front diff been rotated to accommodate a steeper drive shaft angle?

What year is the truck? What market was it sold in? South America?
Also, BJ or FJ? Gas or diesel?

Here is a link to a parts supplier from Japan. They have full diagrams of all the systems. You basically need a front
end rebuild. I am skeptical that you need to rebuild the steering box until you're rebuilt the tie rods, ends, and
link tubes. The diagrams are very specific as to how many of each part you need. It's in US dollars, and it ships
JapanPost within 2 days of ordering. I've had nothing but good luck from them.
They offer advice, so can answer questions about parts availability etc.
At the very least it will help you understand how the systems work and how they go together.
In the front of this forum there is a link for online manuals. Look there for one for your truck and download.

These guys have a good online parts line for the tools you might need. Axle sockets and stuff. You will have to
figure it out as you go. There are lots of sources
