Product Description
The PSC SK689R36JP3-6.75W-1.5OS Cylinder Assist Steering Kit is engineered specifically for Jeep Gladiator JT and Wrangler JL models equipped with the 3.6L Pentastar engine (non-eTorque). Designed for serious off-road performance, this hydraulic assist steering kit dramatically reduces steering effort while improving steering control when running large tires, heavy axles, and aggressive off-road setups. PSC hydraulic steering systems are widely used in rock crawling, overlanding, and extreme off-road applications where steering components are subjected to high loads. This kit includes a weld-on axle mount designed for 6.75" AFM axles along with compatibility for 1.5" offset tie rods, providing the strength and steering leverage required for modified Jeep builds. Hydraulic assist steering works by adding a ram cylinder that supplements the steering gearbox output, dramatically improving steering control with oversized tires or lockers engaged. PSC systems are designed for maximum reliability, delivering smoother steering feel while protecting steering gear components from excessive stress during demanding off-road driving. Whether you're building a trail-ready Jeep Gladiator or a high-performance Wrangler JL crawler, the PSC SK689R36JP3-6.75W-1.5OS kit provides the strength, control, and durability required to handle extreme terrain.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a hydraulic assist steering kit do?
Hydraulic assist steering systems add a ram cylinder to help the steering gearbox turn large tires more easily. This reduces steering effort and improves steering control during off-road driving.
Is this kit designed specifically for Jeep JL and JT models?
Yes. The PSC SK689R36JP3-6.75W-1.5OS kit is engineered specifically for Jeep Gladiator JT and Wrangler JL models equipped with the 3.6L Pentastar engine without the eTorque system.
Do I need to weld the mount to my axle?
Yes. This kit includes a weld-on axle mount designed for 6.75" AFM axle housings to ensure proper positioning and strength for the hydraulic assist cylinder.
Is hydraulic assist necessary for large tires?
Hydraulic assist steering is strongly recommended for vehicles running large tires, heavy beadlock wheels, or lockers, as it significantly reduces steering effort and improves durability of steering components.
Is this system suitable for rock crawling?
Yes. PSC hydraulic assist systems are widely used in rock crawling and extreme off-road builds due to their ability to maintain steering control under high load conditions.
