So the plan is to put the 4x4 cam, ported/polished head with performance springs rockers blah blah blah onto stock 4.0L bottom end and run it. :/

I wouldn't even worry about it really. Its just fine for me but I have hydro-assist But to honestly answer your question. Mine blew donkey ***** turning at all when in 4wd and a locker up front. BUT mine was also hard to turn at low speeds and I would have to bump the throttle to get it to turn in parking lots at very slow speeds (before the locker) I then locked it and it became impossible in 4wd. I put hydro on and my steering was only a TINY bit better. I replaced the pump and BOOM it feels like the tires are off the ground all the time 4wd/2wd w/e... I think i had 2 things going, locked front end and a bad pump with little-no pressure or assist. Lock that *****! lol Cory has a used PSC pully he would sell for a good price I am sure if you want a little boost at low RPMS. I would recommend it I love mine. the WJ pump helps too lol

And Cory if you spot this how much you want for that PSC pulley?

My Durango box is not under warranty anymore.. lol that ran out in Dec.

I wouldn't run assist on a D30 either, the pulley should help when at a stop or low rpm, Cory has a Pulley and a good looking belt too lol (I have them at the moment) Just give him a call/text.

But other then getting the pulley used I wouldn't do anything more until its needed. Other wise you end up doing what i do with everything...

I want a psc pulley, I guess I should do a Durango box too, if I do that I might as well do hydro... if I do hydro I should run a cooler... If I do that I should boost pressure and get a WJ pump....

end result I love my Pulley upgrade! LOL fail

has anybody done that? it sound's like a really bad idea....The binding alone with the steering and a locker kinda makes me sad

It has been known to shear the knuckles off at the TRE mount, bush the knuckles off the axle and shear the ball joints... lol not a good idea. I read about this fail on Pirate

I even saw a pic of Hydro on STOCK XJ steering lol let me look for it!
