Re: PSC steering pump box and hydraulic assist please help
PSC has been pretty good for me. No problem in years. I recommend getting a 2nd radiator in line with the stock radiator. I also use royal purple fluid. Placement of the ram was a really hard decision for me. It was originally attached to the drivers side but I kept making contact between the ram brackets on the drivers knuckle and the trac bar bracket. so I switched to passenger knuckle even though its really hard to protect offroad. I think you will be amazed at how strong the steering will be.

Re: PSC steering pump box and hydraulic assist please help



My first hydro assist system below. the brackets on the drivers side knuckle made strong contact with the trac bar bracket when offroad.


Hope this helps.

Re: PSC steering pump box and hydraulic assist please help
I'll try to get pics of how it all looks now. I had to bend my axle skid plate this weekend so I should be able to get a clear shot now.

Re: PSC steering pump box and hydraulic assist please help
How does the setup with the black ram work. I like how it's mounted higher up. Can you get a better pic of the mounting point on the drivers side. I have a PSC kit but haven't mounted mine yet. Thanks.
