Best non hydro steering setup

[Do Work 93 YJ]

You can get a full hydro system that will be fine on the road but your going to pay dearly for it. I've driven mine on the road one time and it will probably be the last time. There is way to many steering rotations just to come in and out of curves.

Logan I feel you on making up your mind. I was in that same boat about 2 months ago.  Also one thing to consider is failure points. With full hydro not as many as hydro assist. Also in my shoes not like im gonna be dding a truck on 40s.  I will see less than 500 miles a month.

The big thing I've always read is usually the systems that are reactive at slower RPMs, become twitchy at higher RPMs on the road.

You can change out the high pressure port so that the pressure will not spike. I paid $15 for the port.

Larry I forgot to type that.. I remember us talking at Harlan about that.

This got complicated! I think the redneck setup is the way I will go. If G says it's good, then I trust him.

I had to drive mine (full hydro) on the road a good bit out at Moab. All I can say is it was quite nerve-racking.

Mine is spooky also Calvin, 2 turns lock to lock, but it will self center just like regular steering, even at trail speeds.

Just like Micheal was saying you can get a system that is invisible on the road and amazing offroad, but you have to put up the cash. I have a PSC kit on my TJ w/ 40" Treps + D60 + Detroit + Drive Flanges. I get it up to 70 mph on the road around town, city streets, hwy no problem. Offroad no problems using my tire a pivot point either.

But, to answer the original question I have a PSC Durango steering box and pump on one of my other Jeeps and it does great on the street and trail with either set of tires/wheels I run. 36" Iroks on TR beadlocks or 35" BFG MTs on Alloys
