Cant seem to find stock pulley diameter but i assume going larger than that will have adverse effects on other items on same belt if it fits in space and belt will adjust enough. Btw anyone know if any pulley puller fits without removing pump?

Looks like 5 1/4 pulley

That would be amusing if the pulley was simply changed but from what i understand it would have to be really small and its large. Played around with the valve adjustments and at one extreme (bolt in) its as originally incredibly easy to turn. When fully in, steering wheel barely turns at...

So heres an update. It wasnt a 4x4 shop dont have one close by but they do a lot of work on wranglers. They didnt see damage or missing steering components. Offered to try a different pump but that would add up dollar wise.

Wait, so thats a third type of lift that can add inches to total height in addition to people having suspension and BL? I think i might have those spacers thought they were just stops i have to look closer one looked cracked now i hope its not a lift lol. As for the steering having a valve put...

Body lift about 2". Those wheels are actually 3.25 bs. The 33s were on 15x10s i believe those were in bad shape. No spacers. So the caster reduces with susp lift only not BL? I mean if thats the case and springs are close to stock height, whether theyre old and weak or just stock height...

You guys were right, i did the chalk test and am running at 25 psi now down from 29, as for the steering it made no difference can still make the steering wheel continue spinning after i let go if i spin it hard, talk about super power steering. Talk about non-existence of self centering ...

Looks like a 2" BL as for springs i can tell you front ones compressed are 11" tall not sure what stock is

Are you lifted with other mods? I cant believe how different the stock one i tried was. And mine behaved exactly the same on cracked old 33x12.50s that had maybe 15 psi so clearly not overinflated

Quickie before work

You guys are a riot i just ran out in the downpour half dressed to check if i got ripped off and i can confirm the axle is straight. Talk about phone distortion. Any chance you could mark specific areas on photo to check for any bend? Im afraid at this angle without a lift it will never look...

Here you go sorry cant do chalk test till it stops raining

Wow i just got into a 2000 TJ at a dealer and standing still the steering wheel is 10x harder to turn than mine with engine on, no exaggeration.

Ok so steering box is solely responsible for number of turns, nothing else in handling characteristics.

I'll check for a shop, btw the way heres jeep dealer response about steering box which had a small number on cap of 5689010. "The part number you provided is a General Motors part number. From this information it appears that somebody retrofitted GM parts onto your Jeep Vehicle. Because of this...
