Default Upgraded steering ratios for nbs?

Got a 99 sierra 4wd so it's got a regular steering box. Are there any bolt in boxes out there with a more performance oriented ratio? Either something out of another vehicle I can bolt in or from the aftermarket?
Did a search but couldn't find anything. Any help is appreciated!

This would be a great add on for my lowered 99. Anyone know of one?

When I had my 2001 I thought about the same thing. The 2004 Escalade had a sharper ratio and I was thinking of pirating a box outta there. My 2006 is like a sports car so I think they took fron the Escalade and gave it to the trucks.............

I know for certian, Bottled- that an 04-05 Esky would have what it sounds like you're looking for. Now I have not had this truck since new so anyone could've swapped in a new box, but my las truck the steering was like driving a school bus.................

check out red head steering. I replaced my worn out steering box a couple years ago with one of theirs. They do anything from nascar, baja trucks to daily drivers. I did just a stock replacement and it has the tight feel and response like my lightning had. oh and there prices are really good too.
