if its happening everytime you turn your wheels, driving or stopped then yes its just your power steering pump, not saying its going bad but, checking the fluid level would help... also what size tires are you running... running a larger tire causes the power steering pump to work harder having to turn more "weight/drag" compared to a stock 215/75/15 tire....
i wouldn't be alarmed though.. my power steering whines alot also, just another one of those things; once you gotten bitten and have treated your jeep to a better look/attitude

no thats just the sound of your power-steering pump working a little harder thats all..... if you haven't replaced your stock steering stabylizer shock yet that may be a good idea.... the stock stabylizer was designed to handle a 27 or 28" tire and running a set of 33's wears is out... there not expensive, right around $30 try ebay or RC or rusty's they've always got them
