Caught the Bug
I recently made the jump to 37" tires on my '14 JKUR and am trying to understand all of the hydro assist options. I spoke with PSC and they recommend the kit where I send in my steering gear and they send it back along with a new pump, ram, hoses, reservoir, etc. Cost for this kit is roughly $1400. I have also seen where folks have just sent their gear to PSC and run the factory pump and reservoir. To add a bit more confusion, there are the two different ram sizes 1.5 and 1.75.
I'd really like to stick with a PSC setup. I have seen some of the other options including the DIY setup, and I feel this is an area not worth cutting any corners.
At the end of the day, on road, highway handling characteristics are really important as my Jeep is a daily driver and will see about 10k a year on the highway.
My main reason for the hydro is I would really like to take the stress off the steering gear gear/sector shaft which should remove a little worry when playing off road.
Lastly, can I stick with my factory tie rod or would it be best to change it out?
Any input would be greatly appreciated along with personal experiences too!
Thanks!
