So...powersteering.com can do the fast ratio conversion, but not the 35# valves. He mentioned he could lower the pressure to get a stiffer feel.

Lee power steering scoffed at the idea and highly suggested the 35# valve upgrade for a 12:1 conversion to get the feel I'm looking for. For $750+ shipping...starting to rethink my strategy.

So what about the jeep box swap again...less turns & firmer feel, but need to change the rag joint?? AGR?? Does the IROC box have the right stops?

Really want less turns AND firmer feel with the correct stops without the big price tag...<sigh>

You would be better off with the Jeep box for proper steering travel.
