Why didn't i make this video sooner!!
Alot of you guys have asked me about my Hydraulic Assist setup.
In the past, i always told myself that this wasnt "The Best" setup. But clearly it has been working out perfectly fine for me!
Hydro assist is the best way to beef up your steering for larger tires.
Not only does it give us more turning power, it also takes a huge load off the steering box and frame.
Once you start looking at 37" tires and larger, this is an upgrade that you really need to start considering. You can build a setup like me, or even go with a full kit from PSC.
Here is a link to PSC, and as you will see there are alot of different options for steering box upgrades. If you have any questions about different options, feel free to ask me in the comments!

Here is a link to my DIY hose chafing gear. This is a great way to add some protection to your lines.
Spiral Wrap Hose Protector: amzn.to/2QLfc5m
Redneck Ram is also a great choice for steering boxes and rams. They are a little more budget friendly. www.westtexasoffroad.com/
No matter what you choose, hydro assist will be an amazing upgrade for your Jeep Wrangler. It will help both on road and offroad.
Its not only a "RockCrawling" Upgrade either.
An overlander with larger tires and extra weight will benefit immensely.
Thanks for watching! And be sure to check out Cassies channel Jeep Gear and Gadgets for the LJ axle swap!!
Fluid Film, this stuff is amazing, just very stinky haha amzn.to/39gljVz

What's wrong with selling sponsored products, every RU-vidr dreams of getting sponsored by someone who has products that they are using. RU-vid can be an actual career if you have lots of subscribers & a sponsor to pay you for what you love doing & not need to have a primary job. Sponsorship is an awesome thing to have. I would not pass up a sponsorship & I doubt you would pass up that opportunity either

No one is required to watch. If anyone is taking advantage it is the companies that see a new form of advertisement. You see the same products everywhere. I am sure some of them are good and there is nothing wrong with receiving a product from a manufacturer and trying it out. The only thing the viewer can ask for is the knowledge that a product has been provided for no cost.

I looked into it. I think the shaft pitting had something to do with killing the seal (Rough surface plus contaminates getting into the seal surface from the pitting.

yop seem to be the man on this. At some point perhaps you could find a buddy that has a WJ that really needs hydro assist. Routing of the hydro lines in a WJ with the 4.7 V8. Lifted WJ's turning 35-37's are prime examples of DW looking for an excuse to happen on road.

My turning radius is horrible with my 39's and King Pin 60. That particularly may be my fault in the setup on it, but I'm not 100% convinced. I see you have Antirock on your Jeep. I'm running no sway bars and its road manners are down right dangerous. How is the assist on the road for you?

I have anti rocks front and rear on 5.5" of lift on a 2017 JKU. There is a lot more body roll from them. All it really took was minor adjustment in how i drive to over come this. I think they are worth the money for how much i go off-road, no discounting, just air down the tires and go. I would also agree that the PSC system feels terrible on the road. It takes the feedback from the road out of the steering in my opinion. But it does amazing off-road with locked 1 tins & 40s

I'm thinking of getting a new box that's ported for hydro. How do y'all think this setup will be just having the box ported and a ram without the cooler and upgraded pump. FYI the power steering pump in the JKU only has 30-40k miles on it.
