    Smile adding hydraulic assist steering

    The steering has been pretty sloppy on my 4x4 on the highway so instead of just replacing the steering box i figured i might as well add the steering assist.

    The pump was needing replaced also so with this kit it replaces all of it.

    ill get some pics of it when i get the truck back from the shop.

    That was my next step, but then the tranny went. I looked at the RedNeck ram. Htey modify existing box to keep cost down.

    here's some pics, the steering is like a Cadillac, wheel turns with no effort at all, also had a sway bar put on in the front and a traction bar in the back.
