I have the stock setup with 37’s. I want hydro assist but haven’t done it yet. I’ve never had an issue with the PS on the street. I flushed the system this past Spring, added a cooler and also a PS filter.
Weakest part of my JK is the steering as well. Just not quite ready to spend the dough on hydro. Have you had problems with steering while locked when crawling after installing the 37’s?

That's what finally pushed me over to get the rest of the awful expensive PSC setup; I had destroyed 2 OEM steering gears on 35s,37s so the 3rd replacement I shucked-out for the PSC gear that had the hydro assist ports. I ran capped-off w/Fox ATS & steering/trackbar brace for a year but got locked up pretty good several times this season on our rides. It's no fun having these guys all instructing you to "turn passenger !" & Not being able to.
So, I bent-over & took a reaming buying the reminder of the system (
ram, resi, hose upgrades , blah blah )ala cart from PSC.
I'll tell ya what ; it's not cheap but that first time you can crank whichever way your spotter tells you to is absolutely the point where you understand the investment. I could have gone WTO but didn't wanna change the steering tactile or response at all ( for when I do run it on road) .
FWIW, I have spoken w/ them & West Texas Offroad knows their business just as well as PSC. It is pretty much a subjective preference.
Steering is important. Like tires , I can't justify anything but the best performer & sometimes it's 'spensive
(edit: this opinion /experience I responded with is 100% because the JKs steering blows, big-time. )
