Power steering mod with stock steering

Who's done this mod with the stock steering setup without hydro assist?

What'd you do, put in the small washer and grind off the limiting stud? it sounds like thats all there is to do with stock steering. It just sounds like that wouldnt make much difference but I guess I'm probably wrong?

I drilled the orifice in the fitting on one pump. Made the steering feel lighter under all conditions. These kinds of mods are OLD. There is a lot of flow to be gained if you have hydro assist. You shouldn't need to do much (if anything) with stock steering. If you think the pump needs a lot of mods there is probably something wrong in the system.

Well I did it (didnt drill it out tho just removed the two shims, put the washer in there, and grinded down the limiting stud) and there is a noticable difference. I can actually turn my tires at a stop effortlessly without a single complaint from the steering. Before they would turn but it didnt want to. I pulled up next to a curb and tried turning the tires into it, it complained but did it. I'm gonna wheel it next week so well see how it works then. This is all with 35"s by the way, going to 38"s soon
