Default time to upgrade my power steering

Really need to upgrade the steering, looked at a few options and cant decide. What are you guys running as far as aftermarket pumps/ steering gears? Dont think im at the full hydraulic level yet. Thanks!

It would help if you gave a little info... Like how tall a lift, how big of tires, etc...

33s? you dont need anything more than a good stock setup. if you really want more power at idle/while crawling, get a smaller PS pump pulley.

I will consider the gym idea ... it has a new stock pump and gear. Steers pretty easily until
Im wheelin and the front locker is engaged then cant turn . I know lockers make it more difficult but not as hard as it is. Going to look up the psc gear and pump set up. Plan on staying with 33's

It's not worth the money to buy a PSC box and pump and then not a ram... The ram is the cheapest part. Pick up a smaller pulley for like 70 bucks. It'll give you more power at idle.
