Ultimate Jeep Steering Upgrade PSC Hydro Assist FULL Install and Test Drive!

[@AutoEdits]

Howdy folks! Thanks so much for watching ... all the links you need to do some research on the kits I reference are in the description but I also want to make sure you remember the AutoEdits Amazon store ... where you can get the Bones gloves like I use in the video and any purchases you make from starting at the storefront help support the channel! So thanks! www.amazon.com/shop/autoedits

[@Bohemianbiker1k]

Is this better than a steering stabilizer

[@AutoEdits]

Totally different. This is a steering assist ram and the other is simply a dampener on the steering arm. I appreciate the assist on tight trails and rocks but for most stuff a stabilizer is fine... I liked my Icon one.@@Bohemianbiker1k

[@jakeweber9787]

I'm one of those guys that's been pushing you to do this and I'm stoked that you're happy with it. I can't wait until you get out in the rocks, with your front locker engaged and the spotters yelling "Driver!" and you can actually do it woth ease. Your joy will be immense at that point. As I've said before, once you go 37s and actually wheel your Jeep, this is absolutely the best upgrade you can do.

[@AutoEdits]

Well thanks for that input!!! I'm really looking forward to hitting the rocks now!

I'm sure he was waiting until they sponsor him instead of shelling out nearly $4k after taxes.

[@brian2359]

Jason, the last time I saw the wrench you used on the pitman arm was 30ish years ago! I used that wrench to change out the trailer ball for the family bike rake and I left it on the bumper of my dads station wagon and lost! What a blast from the past! Thank you!

[@AutoEdits]

Oh bummer... I hate when that happens...lol

[@joeolmsted8867]

I love mine, completely changed highway driving. The main difference in my opinion (which you pointed out) the ram moves at a constant rate… meaning you can’t jerk the steering wheel which is awesome, so freakin’ smooth!

[@AutoEdits]

HA! That does take some getting used to but I think I'm going to like it... this is all your fault...😅🤘

[@Roberto68n]

Massive upgrade!!!! This has taken you to another Jeep owner’s upgrade skill level!!! Wow!! Congratulations!!!!

[@TheFlyingSquidwithMagical]

You made this look so easy to install... When I did this to my 09 wrangler it was such a pain (I installed in september of 2021) And im still having to work on it it to this day. The instructions were lacking but its so worth it in the end for offroading.

[@AutoEdits]

They did a lot of work on that!

[@carlosandrade7439]

I started building my one tone F350 to get a bit silly off road, I have had a few instances were the steering wheel nearly took my wrist off! I'd love this setup but I couldn't justify the price, I just plan on adjusting my terrain.

[@daweasel100]

put this system in a couple weeks ago went wheeling total game changer. Worth every penny

[@AutoEdits]

I 100% agree!

[@JoseOrtiz_1416]

Jason, you should look into replacing that single shear clamp with a double shear one. Those single shear clamps are known for breaking/ and coming loose especially under heavy loads like turning hard while crawling pinched up next to a rock etc . There relatively cheap and also an insurance to not be left stranded or carry a spare single shear

[@AutoEdits]

Amazing advice, thank you!

[@jakeweber9787]

This is absolutely true.

[@gixxa7500]

Rpm steering makes a 6 bolt double shear clamp … I used a offset clamp to get more space between my aftermarket axle diff cover … forgot the name tho lol

[@kleimbach77]

I was going to suggest this also

[@JoseOrtiz_1416]

By far, the biggest game changer for me as far as rock crawling goes. If there's 1 thing I'd recommend...go double sheer tierod clamp & hydraulic hose sheathing.

[@AutoEdits]

Thanks...now you tell me...LOL Interesting to hear about the double clamp and these new kits have hose protection already on!!! I just didn't think to feature it.

[@apexpredator_jku]

@@AutoEdits after a while the PSC clamp starts to lose it's bite & bolt head just snap right off. That's why you'll see a lot of these steering kits nowadays havr the option for double sheer clamps w/ teeth & set screw if running hydro assist.

💯 AGREE!

Great video and explaining it all. I went with the kit without the ram. I didn't want to complex the build with the ram. it turns my 37s easy and I have never found a reason still for the ram.

Good to hear this, it’s kind of what I thought and why I recommend it for most weekend warriors.

My PSC System is going on Friday.. I can't wait!

[@AutoEdits]

Congrats... you are gonna love it! I keep coming up with excuses to go run errands in the Jeep just to drive it more because it's so good.

[@long-jeep]

PSC hydro assist is one of the more expensive mods I've done to my LJ but it is worth every penny.

[@AutoEdits]

Yeah, this is one of those expensive but worth it upgrades... we make do with the stock steering because this upgrade alone was the same cost as the entire front UD44 axle!

[@davidb9501]

One thing you should do when installing the ram bracket is to tack weld, then go through cycling your steering at full droop and compression. When you weld it in place, it is a lot more work to move it if there is interference. Your install looked fairly straight forward, my front G2 axle had a lot of congestion in the area of the mounting bracket. I ended up letting a fab shop locate the bracket and it still took him 2 hours to find the right spot.

[@AutoEdits]

Solid advice!

[@TheBrettric]

Man your timing is impeccable! Planning on ordering this this week!

[@AutoEdits]

Tell them AutoEdits sent you... maybe they'll throw in one of the shirts I got...LOL Sorry it's not much but it's something... I love them!

[@rpmwrx]

Awesome video, one important tip though is to make sure you wrap your hydraulic ram lines in pvc wrap to protect them from rubbing when cycling the suspension

[@AutoEdits]

Good tip! Now that you point that out... this kit already came with sheathing on the lines!!! I just forgot to spotlight that!

[@rickservatius2393]

Another awesome AutoEdits video. I've been torn if I should do this or not and now I'm sold. The wife says no but I'll just beg for forgiveness after I hit the order now button. Lol. Thanks for the great instructions.

[@AutoEdits]

Don't get me in trouble with the wife!!! LOL I tell you what... let her drive it before and after and she'll get it. I can't even believe how much nicer the Jeep is to just drive around that I keep making up excuses to run errands with it!

I like that you are using such quality parts on your build. Where exactly did you cut off a tab to weld on a new one? It will be a little different on my front end. I don't remember what upgrades you've done to your axles. I've watched a brake upgrade video of yours but I'm not sure if it was on this jeep. I was not considering Reid knuckles until I watched this video. What height is your lift? Metal Cloak? What steering components i.e. tie rod, drag link and trac bar are you running? Nice explanation in the video BTW, knuckle dragger! You got me so pumped up watching this video I think I'll jump on over to your Amazon page and buy something to support you.

I agree with everything you said except one. If 37’s or larger go straight to the ram. I drove the adventure kit for about a year while waiting on a tie rod.

Have a question for you. After ensuring all the air is out of the system, and going through that process, looking into the resevior, I don't see the fluid circulating while it's idling. The lines are warm, not the cylinder lines though. I haven't taken it for a long drive yet though, just idling in the driveway. The fluid level is just above the filter bolt and remains there. Sound normal to ytou ? Great vid, and just in time for my install. Thanks a bunch.

[@AutoEdits]

That's perfect! A great test for any final air in the system is to have someone start it while you look into the reservoir and if the fluid level goes down quite a bit... there's still some air to deal with. Otherwise an uneventful resi... is a happy resi.

You might have to trim just a bit at the bottom but not much... I literally used tin snips and cleared the bottom corner of mine.

[@jakeweber9787]

This is the only reason I switched to a cold air intake. With the PSC, my stock airbox no longer fit.

I was wondering how it performs on hard rock crawling, when you want stiff tires to prevent rapid wheel turning, and sore arms.

This system performs amazing in ALL situations. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWLMfJmaaptqjbM

If you are upgrading to a Dana 60 rear, what is the reason for not going to a full float? Please take this as a trying to understand question, not a judgmental question.

[@AutoEdits]

That’s a legit question! It’s expensive enough to swap in a D60 rear but when you factor in full float usually is 8 lug… that means new wheels and brakes and big $$$’s The semi float will use my current brakes and wheels and gain all the D60 strength just where I feel I need it most… larger ring and pinion and much stronger tubes. I’m not a rock bouncer so trusses and all that extra heavy and wide stuff is too much. Does that make sense?

[@toddgibbs1321]

@@AutoEdits that makes sense. I am sure I have seen full float that kept the factory wheels though. Maybe dynatrac?

@@toddgibbs1321 I haven't, but I like the Fusion fusion4x4.com/collections/jeep-wrangler-jk-axle-assemblies/products/fusion-semi-float-60-rear-axle-assembly-for-jeep-jk It's what I'm getting! PLENTY strong for my Jeepin.

Were did you get the new bracket for the pump ? Do you have a part number?

[@AutoEdits]

It came with the kit.

[@terrencewojciak7092]

Can someone answer this question for me? I have a 2017 2 door JK with only 10,000 miles and its completely stock and drives the way it should! In wranglers i have noticed that the steering wheels ability to return to center during a sharp turn isnt as good as a regular car and that is fine with me. But since I have to turn the wheel back to center physically I was wanting to make the task alot more easier. Will a PSC steering help with this?

[@silentjde]

Is the bolt on the tie rod for the ram loose, looks like it in the close up.

[@AutoEdits]

It’s not.

[@MrUMENTAL]

What MPG do you get? I see you givin it the beans in every episode lol.

[@AutoEdits]

I love giving it the beans! 😂 I get 15.5 to 16 combination mileage with my secret juice... probably should do a video on that little secret.

[@MrUMENTAL]

100% you should make a video. I’m getting 12-14 city

[@tommygrayjeepguy]

I’m running 4.88 and 35 and getting about high 13mpg to low 14mp. I’m wanting to do 37 it will lower the rpm at Cruising speed but do you think it would help of hurt gas mileage? My Jeep is a Rubicon. It also has a 3.5 MC lift and Hutchinson rock monster wheels. Skid plates and MC steel bumpers and Fender a lot like Jason’s build.
