    I've got a full PSC assist setup and it works. Seemless on the road and I never feel like I need more steering power.


    Wish there was more to write, but when things do what they should there isn't much to say.

    Does that use the stock power steering box?

    Drilled and tapped ifs steering box but a PSC pump. I don't remember the pn but I've got it if you want it. I've got a friend on a stock pump that works just fine too

    I have the PSC hydro assist kit in my 85. Not a problem one so far. Just swapped the 6in ram for the 8" one when I swapped to Tons. Still easy as pie to turn my 40s.

    Yeah I wanted to buy it to have but being in college still I don't have much disposable income. Plus my truck will more than likely get an F150 box since it has more ass than the ifs box.

    Measured the throw of the Dana 44 to figure out what size ram I need for hydro-assist. Sounds like 6x1.5 will be the way to go, since I've read about 6x2 being too slow although stronger. Read several good reviews of the TG high-output pump kit. Found several not as good of reviews on the PSC kit, and it looks like they may not even make it for the 3.4L anymore so TG it is.

    ARB front and rears are on order, should be in the truck by the new year.

    Also think I need to get a new front driveshaft. The current one is home made and square - vibrates above 20 mph.

    Anyone have an opinion on cooper pro's? MTRs are on back order and have been for a really long time, just thinking about back ups in case it gets to the point that I can't wait any longer. I had km2s before I did like them a lot but I know there not the best in wet conditions

    I'm a Km2 guy, probably always will be, on my third set now. Yes the wet weather traction isn't that of a street tire but I've never had an issue. The Cooper's STT Pro's are a nice tire. Good off-road and on-road from what the two guys in my off-road club have said.

    Why don't you guys look at the nitto trail grapplers, seem to be a good tire.

    They are freaking awesome, I wanted those but out of my price range. Probably one of the toughest tires out there.

    This. A 40 is cheaper or the same price as most 37s. I wheel with a guy who has some 40s on his 80, and he loves them. He says its no pitbull rocker in the rocks, but for an all around tire and bang for the buck they kick ass.

    I was going to get a set but I had a set of SSRs on beadlocks practically fall in my lap.
