Today we install and test out a new product from Apex! The Apex Performance Steering Boost Kit for the JL and JT model Jeeps.
It replaces the valve on your factory steering pump for an adjustable valve fitted with a higher tensioned spring, allowing up to a 40% INCREASE in PSI! The valve itself may be small, but it packs a punch! The increase in performance also comes with an in increase in temperatures, so the kit also includes a small cooler meant to be placed behind your grill or bumper.
The install itself is simple but a lot of parts are going to have to come off before you can get to where you need to work. The fenders, factory air box, front bumper and grill have to come off. While it's certainly involved, we were thoroughly impressed with the steering performance boost, especially on a set of 37" tires. The 40's handled quite well too, although off-road with low tire pressure will likely put a tough strain on a factory gear box.
If you have any questions about the install, the tools we used, or where to get one feel free to REACH OUT in the comments, we'd love to hear from you!
