PSC Hydro assist with the Rock Krawler Tie Rod?
I am thinking about getting the PSC hydro steering assist kit......but I think that the way it bolts to the tie rod is for the stock size and I now have the Rock Krawler tie rod.........
Is there any additional parts that are pre-fabbed for this I can pick up?
Or will I just be left to fabbing my own?

I ordered a PSC ram assist today along with a mounting clamp for the 1.5" Curry tie rod I'm running

If replacing the tie rod with (rock crawler or whatever brand) is having the PSC really needed or lets say "recommended?" I have been debating replacing my tie rod, but have heard if I do, I should replace the steering box as well. Is this true?

Just tell the the diameter of your tie rod and they will send the proper bracket, or better yet...
Get the tabs and weld them on for a more secure set up. I had the RK tie rod and PSC assist before the Rock Jocks....

Thanks for the headsup and the ideas.....I don't like to get almost done with a project and realize that I need a part and that most likely the store(if local!!!) is closed!!!!

I upgraded to the RK tie rod because my last one got bent on a wee rock.....along with the fact that I needed to replace a worn out tie rod end as well, seemed like the correct time to go ahead and upgrade!
I am considering the PSC because I have "wobble" in the sector shaft of the steering box.....so instead of replacing with another stock box that will most like sh*t itself again....I would rather spend a little more....which will give me increased steering control as well as longevity.....
As for the PSC being needed or recommended........I would say not needed, but definetely recommended.....not necessarily along with a tie rod change, but just in general......especially with 35+ tires.......
