I am running the PSC. Not terrible to install but it is a lot of work. Swapping the steering box and welding the axle side mount is the most difficult. Do you already have an aftermarket tie rod? Do you plan on using a clamp on the tie rod or welding tabs to it?

In Mesa I would recommend let's roll offroad.

I have had real good luck with Jason at Absolute Offroad. Only problem for me is he is up north.


What prompted you to go to a PSC system? I only ask becouse my 2010 2door JK is acting starange at low RPM. My power stearing seems to "Fade" on me.

Running 35's with about a 3.5 lift and a ton of crap added to the Jeep.

I agree jason at absolute or cutting edge on the north side of town, if you don't mind making the drive. My steering was fine with 35s but when I moved up to 37s I started breaking steering boxes. The first one I broke the mounting ears off of and the second one I bent the output shaft. If you plan on wheeling hard with 37" or larger tire ram assist is a must IMO.

No I don't have aftermarket tie rod but was going to get a new heavy duty one.
Not sure on the clamp or welding tabs which is better?

Both have advantages. Clamps allow for much more adjustment, but welding tabs eliminates the risk of the clamp sliding on the tie rod. Also, the clamps are very pricey for what they are.

Well I started with tabs welded on. My tie rod is made of 250 wall chromoly and I thought it was unbendable but I was wrong. I recently changed to a clamp so I can spin the tie rod when I bend it. I put a small weld on each side of the clamp to keep it from moving.
