Default Hydraulic steering (please read need help)

I'm considering a hydraulic steering but have questions about it. Ive got a 96 xj 6.5" lifted on 35's. What's it help do over regular steering? Will my steering be better on the highway? Any info about hydraulic steering will be greatly helpful!

Thanks, Andrew

On the highway their is no difference. You will feel the difference when you are on the rocks. If you do not go on any rocky trails, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

the hydro ram is kind of like a steering stabilizer on the highway, so itll hide some small imperfections in your steering. assist is magical, once you try it you wont go back.

Think of it like power steering over 40mph its not doing much at all,But low speeds it helps a ton.
