Very different from full-hydraulic steering, hydro-assist steering is the best of both worlds. This system benefits stock vehicles noticeably, and will be a very nice improvement for those owners who tow or who intend to run large tires. Details below:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou maintain the mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the tires so if a fluid leak occurs you will still have the ability to steer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou maintain the sharp response of a mechanical connection, with steering input being initiated by the drag link, but prolong the life of your steering components by having most of the force provided by the hydraulic ram\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces body sway. With most of the force being between the axle and the tie rod, we remove most of the push between the frame-mounted gearbox and the tie-rod, removing a large amount of body sway. This is especially nice if you run a soft swaybar, or none at all, or if you have a high center of gravity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteering response above idle is faster than stock steering speed. Steering speed at-idle is generally comparable to stock or faster. Steering is now much easier than in the stock configuration, and is an excellent felt improvement for these trucks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy adding the hydraulic ram at the tie-rod we are now able to apply most of the steering force with the fewest joints between applied force and the tires. This greatly reduces wear on your drag link and your gearbox. In a stock steering configuration, all steering force travels through the tie rod, but is provided by the drag link and gearbox pushing on it. In a hydro-assist configuration, all steering force still travels through the tie rod, except now the force is taken off of the gearbox and the drag link and is provided mostly by the hydraulic ram\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminate the need for a steering brace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the complete hydraulic-assist steering kit.
