Product Description
The PSC SK688R38JP1-8.0W-1.5OS Cylinder Assist Steering Kit is engineered for 2007-2011 Jeep Wrangler JK models equipped with the 3.8L engine. Designed for serious off-road applications, this hydraulic assist steering kit dramatically improves steering control, reduces steering effort with oversized tires, and protects steering components under extreme load. This system is designed specifically for vehicles running 8.0 AFM axles and 1.5" outside-diameter tie rod systems. The weld-on mounting tabs allow installation of the hydraulic assist cylinder directly to the axle housing, creating a powerful steering system capable of handling rock crawling, trail riding, and heavy off-road conditions. PSC steering assist kits are widely used by off-road racers and rock crawlers because they reduce steering strain, increase steering torque, and extend the life of steering components. The included PSC hydraulic assist cylinder works with the factory steering gear to deliver smoother steering input and significantly improved control when navigating difficult terrain. When combined with PSC pumps and steering gear upgrades, this system becomes a complete high-performance steering solution for serious Jeep builds.
