Product Description
The PSC SK689R36JP2-8.0W-1.5 Cylinder Assist Steering Kit is engineered specifically for 2018-2020 Jeep Wrangler JL models equipped with the 3.6L engine (non-eTorque). Designed for serious off-road applications, this hydraulic assist system dramatically improves steering control when running oversized tires, heavy beadlock wheels, and extreme suspension articulation. This PSC weld-on steering assist kit is built for vehicles equipped with the 8.0 AFM axle and 1.5" tie rod setups. By integrating a hydraulic assist cylinder directly into the steering linkage, the system significantly reduces steering load on the steering gearbox and driver, improving steering response and reliability in demanding terrain. PSC hydraulic assist systems are widely used in rock crawling, trail rigs, and high-performance off-road builds because they allow drivers to maintain precise steering control even with large tire packages and aggressive off-road suspension systems. The SK689R36JP2-8.0W-1.5 kit includes premium PSC components designed to deliver long-term durability and smooth steering performance under extreme conditions.
