Fitting 35's on 3" suspension lift

I think I figured out my power steering sin. My cooler outlet is higher than the return inlet on the pump reservoir

 

Would that even matter on a pressurized system?

 

I'm not entirely sure but damn near everything I find online says the reservoir must be the highest point of the system.

I thought the return was sub 100 psi but there's not a lot of info I can find there either

 

I fit a nalgene between the air box and the core support. I need to drill the side and put the pump at the bottom like a factory bottle. It doesn't have enough suction to pull from the top when fender mounted

 

You don't have CC right? Just get the pre taco one that fits up above the fender well. Super easy and clean.

 

Ill tell you what ever old codger has ever told me... It's called a pump not a suck. Pumps always go below the head of liquid for optimal function

 

This is the one I used. It’s nice because pump is included.

Here’s the post in my build where I installed it next to the CC.

Lol yeah you'll want a bigger one probably. Or better yet, CO2

and this is what I mean VVVVV

 

That's where my ARB twin is

 

Yeah, there's some bailing wire wrapped under the lip of the bottle and it's tied to the core support

 

I got the idea online. You can reuse the factory pump and washer gasket

 

I wish I had that wisdom before hand

 

And +1 to the bottle.

I like this one because it's like it was made for the space but it's on the flimsier side so getting the gasket perfect is harder after it's aged a bit. It went in perfect though.

 

It's like 13/16" otoh. I would use the ring that comes with a washer pump but you might be able to work it with silicon

 

I dig it, I was thinking about going to the dollar/thrift store for something similar but in my last time pinch I grabbed the nalgene

 

You might be surprised. I was able to wrangle mine out with a screwdriver. It's pretty thick so even if it has a little weather checking I wouldn't expect it to fall apart

 

Now I remember why I mounted the cooler so high. The outlet clearance becomes an issue. Maybe I should get a smaller cooler?

 

OTOH it is 7.5x12.5"
