I had an aftermarket steering fluid cooler on my CJ when I had the stock 258 and small power steering pump in it. I mounted it to the inside of my frame rail above the suspension. Got the cooler from summit, if I remember correctly. I've since moved up to a 351w with a Ford truck power steering pump in the jeep, so fluid boiling is no longer an issue. I have not run into any problems with the power steering on my JK. Are you having difficulties with the 37s or is this preventive maintenance?

I am currently running 35" and have noticed a little stiff power steering compared to stock and now I am moving to 37" i think my power steering will struggle.

So thats why I am looking for Power steering pump upgrade something bigger with fluid cooler infront of the radiator.

Did a lot of search but couldnt find anything
