STEERING BOOST KIT [JL/JT-compatible]
TURN UP THE PRESSURE ON YOUR STOCK JEEP JL/JT ELECTRIC STEERING PUMP!
With aftermarket performance parts and harder offroad use, the stock pressures and lack of cooling ability become an issue. We have found that the factory power steering is capable of running at a higher pressure with ease.
The Apex 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 was barely acceptable. This is why a power steering cooler is included. This boost kit MUST be used with a cooler to operate correctly. Customers who purchase the standalone kit are responsible for installing a compatible cooler.
COMPATIBLE WITH JEEP JL AND JT - 2.0L, 3.6L, 392, AND DIESEL MODELS

BUT CAN IT HANDLE MY HUGE TIRES?
The answer is yes! The boost kit will work with any size tire and have great improvements. A 39” tire is about the largest tire where most to all issues will be solved.
40s you may see some sticking while aired down on high traction surfaces. It’s still a great improvement and with one of the many ram assists available, you will have all the power you need.
