I see PSC recommends some swepco hydraulic fluid for their pumps.
I picked up some lubeguard stuff to try out. kinda late now but will use on the new setup instead of ATF.

Trying to find a trackbar riser bracket for the lower mount on this dana60 doesnt look like anyone makes them for the dodge though.

Another vote for the PSC big bore steering gear. Last year I replaced my ball joints and drag link, and put on the ‘98+ T style draglink and tie rod. It helped a lot, but still wasn’t great. The sector seal recently went out on the steering box, so I installed the PSC big bore gear and a new pump with Swepco fluid. I think that improved it as much or more than replacing the shot linkages. Lighter steering and much tighter feel to the front end.

That psc big bore box is definitely great. I installed this after and I highly recommend it. My column spring wasn't even worn out and it still made a difference. rocksolidramtrucksteering.com We developed a simple, effective solution.

I used the borgeson and their high output pump. would be nice if there was a legal way to use full hydro, you wouldnt need to worry about the effect of suspension travel on steering.
