On my '90 GMC Jimmy (Full Size) w/ 4" lift, the frame is cracked around one of the steering box mounts. Is there a kit available that will help reinforce the frame?

Yep, common problem with lifted 73-87('91 K5 and Subs) chevys.  There are two common fixes.  One is a patch that installs on the frame, the other is a brace the ties into the crossmember.
