The PSC kit includes a BIG BORE XD steering gearbox, high-performance power steering pump kit, hydraulic assist cylinder, hoses, fittings, brackets, and installation hardware.
Will this improve steering with large tires?
Yes. Hydraulic assist steering dramatically reduces steering effort and improves control on vehicles running large tires, heavy wheels, or off-road suspension setups.
