You didn't want to wait for the new box they are coming out with?

Your talking about the one where you can upgrade to hydro later if you want right ?

I have the XDll on the way. I'll post up some comparison pictures once it arrives and I pull the old XD out. Having the option to expand in the future was very appealing to me with the XDll.

Not interested in hydro right now. Maybe years down the road, and thats a big MAYBE Lol By then I can just tap the psc box if I want to go that route

The upgraded feed line is only $99 so may be worth doing now while you're at it. The return line (as I understand) requires a new PSC reservoir tank and cooler so that's maybe a little overkill if you're not going full hydro assist. I'd hold off on the pump now if I were you and see how it is after the box upgrade. Then spend the money if you need to afterwards. No use replacing a part that does it's job just fine now, you know?

Yeah I had the same idea, if I don't have to spend the money I won't right now and save up for the pump lines etc. The only thing I found that would fit an 07 jk is this

Maybe I missed it? If you have the link etc I would love to look and maybe get the lines if I can, unless you have to buy the pump and stuff all at once like you mentioned

Ahh, I missed your model year. It seems like the 12 and up are the only ones with the restricted lines. You should be ok!

I just placed my order for the new XDII box on fri. They said It'll be shipping in 2-3weeks. I am very excited for it.
Did you flush with SWEPCO flushing oil and switched over to their power steering fluid as PSC recommends? I forgot to ask them when placing an order. I also just emailed them about it now so I won't forget later.

I used OEM fluid with the swap to the Big Bore XD. But with the II coming, I ordered the SWEPCO 729 flush and will go to their fluid and follow PSCs recommendations. Has anyone flushed the power steering system with swepco? What's the easiest way to do that?

Hey guys quick update:
The jeep drives a million times better. The steering is a lot tighter and definitely not as much play as I use to have. I haven't noticed the need to "warm up" or anything, I heard that sometimes it takes second for the fluid the flow which causes the turning to be hard and I haven't experienced that. I've put about 200ish miles. Probably about 40 city, 100 highway and 60 off road and it's been awesome. I'll keep everyone updated as I get more use out of it! [emoji106]

Got a chance to test it out off road the last couple weeks. Works great!
I didn't do a total flush on mine. I drained the fluids for a day or so and then swapped in Amsoil power steering fluid. Runs smooth, cool, and works great.
