I am about 3 weeks post the PSC Hydro Assist install and I must say it is awesome.. Install sucked a good bit, but once we figured out all the differences between the instructions and my JL as well as the bleeding of the system, it has been great. Did the entire set up, new pump, steering box, ram, cooler, etc. The instructions were super detailed which was great, just had some differences between the JL they used and my JL. Biggest issue we had was bleeding the system and destroying the belt which destroyed all the pulleys..
Based on their directions the bleeding of the system was going to suck, and they were spot on.. it sucked. We ended up having to get a bigger belt than what they sent out and recommended. Calls for 90" belt but we ended up using a 91". The 90 was so tight that it literally melted the upper pulley, started to on the second pulley, and caused issues on the lower pulley.
Had the PSC installed while doing the UD60 swap so we had to do some figuring out with the pitman arm as the UD60's use JK steering components, but the pitman arm needed the JL TRE. Overall I am quite happy with the kit with both on and off road handling.
