What is Hydro Assist?

What is Hydro Assist? In this video I will attempt to explain Hydro Assist. Hydro assist is what we use on some Jeep vehicles for easier turning of the wheels and tires while playing in the large rocks that you'll find offroad. By applying a hydraulically operated ram to your steering setup and with a little modification to your steering gear box, you wont have to fight your steering wheel anymore.
Let us modify your box:

    Wish this was a newer video and you were still giving it away, I’m about to have a major reconstructive surgery on my shoulder and that’s off the surgeon can even fix it. Only having one arm is getting in the way of doing my one ton swap. Already had to pay a guy for my motor swap, if my arm wasn’t messed up it wouldn’t be an issue doing all of it myself. Happy jeeping guys from Tennessee ridge TN

    I'm building my 99 xj classic for a trip to parks around the country and funds are hard to come by for me. With my larger tiers, Utilizing a hydro assist kit would defiantly provide me peace of mind. Knowing I wont induce added stress on my stock steering components while going across country makes the already momentous endeavor more enjoyable in the end. I simply would love to win this giveaway and save much needed funds for travel costs. Even If I'm already late on this. Thank you for all the knowledge you have given me that has helped me over the past year.

    Typical systems have two other components on top of what you described here. A cooler and a larger pump. I'm looking at doing this upgrade but if I need these other components I'll need to save a little more. I'm looking at using the single side assist sck2200 that psc makes. Do I need to add a cooler, larger reservoir, or larger power steering pump to my jeep yj to accommodate this smaller ram assist? Btw your videos are awesome and hilarious!

Sorry for my ignorance I am a neophyte just a guppy in this shark 🦈 infested world ;). Thanks bro!!! I’m building a WJ rock crawler and see what I can do next year at KOH.
