Power Steering

Ok, i have a 08 6.4l PS F250 with a 6" lift on brand new 37x13.5x20 Nitto Grappler G2s. Since i bought it in 2018, the Steering wheel has been very hard to turn in park or under 5 mph. All ball joints are new, tie rods ends are new; new trac bar bushing, Pitman arm is new, new REDHEAD steering gear box, new double rough country stabalizer shocks, 4 new bilstein shocks. Do you think its the power steering pump OR Booster? Or something else

As I stated in your other thread, it's doubtful it's the gear, but call them if you have questions concerning their product.

Something else, with a big lift and big tires, stock steering is never going to work. You need the Redhead 2769U Extreme Duty Steering Gear Box, with the optional hydraulic steering assist ports, and a PSC SC2201K hydraulic Assist Cylinder. Good Luck, Russ
