Agree! I installed red neck ram with psc pump and reservoir, turned slow at idle, finally pulled the ram off, kept the pump and res. Works great. 74 bronco with 39.5” boggers. Might try a psc ram someday.

I had no idea what hydro assist was so u typed it in KZbin, watch this video (and this video only) and I'm now fully informed. What a great video, thanks 👍

Great video, easy and thorough explanation. Definitely gonna need hydro assist for my Yj project.

Good video. I have broken a lot of steering parts. I like hydro assist because it will still (slowly) steer you back to your trailer if you break a sector shaft, drag link mount , or tear your box off from the frame. I don’t run PSC. On our Jk we run Howe steering power assist system. After your build you send him your lock to lock marked on your box, and he installs internal stops in your steering gear box. I run this on a modified stock box without issue. The assist ram takes some of the pressure off the box. I still run a sector shaft brace. Good luck

Wish I would have seen this earlier Thank you for the great explanation and posting this video

Keep your videos coming. I like your jk. I have exact same one (white 2dr).

[@SoFloJeeping]

Thanks! I'll try to keep the gaps smaller than 9 months from here on out lol

@@SoFloJeeping your jeep is basically done so I’m sure it makes it harder to come up with new content

[@billcrane2444]

Great information. I don't need it. Thanks.

[@jimhoran5445]

100% agree!

Great video I’m curious what offset rim you running as in back spacing ? It’s not super wide witch I like but not super short as in track width

[@SoFloJeeping]

4.75" backspace wheels on a super duty 60

Well, I guess there goes my autocross membership with my F350 after I add the hydro assist.

What exhaust are you running?

I was fully locked trying to go up a ledge and my spotter wanted me to make micro adjustments. JLUR on 38s couldn't turn for shit had to reverse to make adjustments. I bought an Apex power steering boost kit and I tested it out fully locked flexing in a rock and it turns 38s like nothing. I hope it works as well on that ledge when I try again. One of my buddies has an XJ on 37s full hydro and he said driving on the HW is scary as hell.
