Apex Performance Steering Boost Kit w/ Cooler
JT/JL
Features & Product Details
Any time a Jeep is lifted with larger tires and higher offset wheels, the drag on the hydraulic power steering is greatly increased. Deflate your tires for off-road and it’s even worse. The stock system pressures are set low as it’s enough for 33” tires and stock wheels and helps prevent overheating of the system.
With aftermarket performance parts and harder use, the stock pressures and lack of cooling ability become an issue. We have found that the factory power steering can run at a higher pressure with ease.
The boost kit allows for a retune of the factory blowoff valve so we can increase steering power by 40%. While this is good news, more power = more heat and the factory system were barely acceptable. Therefore, a power steering cooler is included. This boost kit MUST be used with a cooler to operate correctly.
Kit includes: patent-pending steering boost valve, gauge, cooler & hardware.
Note: this product is not designed to address steering slop due to aluminum steering box issues.
What does the steering boost kit fix?
Overall, it feels like stock but no more steering issues regarding power.

REVIEWS & CUSTOMER MEDIA
I bought this for my 20 Gladiator with 37" Nitto MTs @ 28psi and Falcon adjustable stabilizer, running on hard all the time. With this setup the jeep drives great but sitting still you can barely turn the wheel. This kit more than fixes this problem. You can turn the wheel with one finger sitting still or moving with lockers on. Its amazing how good it works. I did install it with the bumper on, it was quite a job, if you drop the sway bar mounts you can get the wrench on the cooler bolts to tighten. Make sure to heat the bolts up they have some aggressive locktite on them. Took most of the day but I was not in a hurry. If you are on the fence, just get this, you will love it.

2021 Gladiator 38" Tires This improved the ease of steering by quite a bit. I did start getting some extra noise from the transmission afterwards, but all seems well. Install was simple, especially having the local shop do it.

Q: Fitment on 2021 392 JL3923 years ago
Will this fit the ‘21 Wrangler 392? Your website says it won’t fit, however the manufacturer website says it will. Also, is this the newer version with the updated cooler and location or the original kit? Thanks
