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

WHAT DOES THE STEERING BOOST KIT FIX?

  • No more stalled steering when it’s sub-freezing temperatures.

  • Smooth steering in parking lots on hot days.

  • Proper steering feel while in sand dunes.

  • Less feedback from terrain inputs.

  • Easy steering while aired down.

Overall it feels like stock but no more steering issues regarding power.

[Note: this product is not designed to address steering slop due to aluminum steering box issues]

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Factory High Pressure Line to Pump Bolt Size: M8x1.25x22

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What should I set my pressure at?

The pressure on the Apex Boost Kit should always be set at 2000 PSI. We have found this pressure provides the best overall performance and most reliable functionality.

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.

Probably the best option for Jeep JT

Aluminum steering box is one thing. I do not have that, so this really is the next best upgrade. It makes a world of difference. Running 37s on EcoDiesel JT, 2-ton steering, and PSC Ram. Seeing that they have their ram assist now, I probably would have went that route too. Yes, I crawl it.

JL steering boost kit

Installed boost kit on my JLUR running 37x13.50 17’s and am very happy with improved steering! I installed the kit with the cooler. Installation was straight forward and instructions were detailed and complete. 37’s turn freely sitting still. Wheeled pretty hard aired down to about 13psi. after installing and had no issues with steering feeling stuck like before. Would highly recommend to anyone wanting improvement in steering power without the cost of hydro assisted steering set up.

I can turn my steering wheel at a dead stop now!

The instructions, both written and video, are great. Support was great when I did have questions not covered in those.

I have 38x13.50 Nitto Trail Grappers running 17" Raceline beadlocks at around 20-25PSI and I can now turn the steering wheel when I am at a dead stop.
