Product Description
The PSC SK689R36JP3-OE Cylinder Assist Steering Kit is a complete steering upgrade designed specifically for Jeep Gladiator JT and Wrangler JL 3.6L Non-eTorque models equipped with factory OE axles and tie rods. Built around PSC’s legendary Big Bore XD steering gearbox, this system dramatically improves steering control, torque output, and durability for Jeeps running oversized tires or aggressive off-road setups. Modern JL and JT platforms use electro-hydraulic steering systems that often struggle with larger tires, heavy accessories, and extreme off-road conditions. PSC replaces the factory system with a high-flow belt-driven mechanical power steering pump and hydraulic assist steering cylinder, delivering consistent steering pressure and improved steering response under load. The integrated hydraulic assist cylinder helps share the steering load between the gearbox and steering linkage, reducing stress on the steering box and frame mounts while improving turning capability when larger tires and locking differentials are used. Whether you're tackling rock crawling trails, overlanding routes, or daily driving with heavy off-road equipment, the PSC SK689R36JP3-OE system delivers precise, predictable steering performance.
