The steering in the wifes 99 WJ seems to be having some issues. I was wondering if the pump is bad or the gear box is bad if there are any good upgrades for them. I plan on lifting it in the semi near future and if I have to replace any parts I want to upgrade them to more HD parts.

The stock WJ steering is a great setup and is actually an upgrade for other Jeeps, so no need to mess with it. And we cannot tele-port through the internet and diagnose things for you, what issues is it having?

stock pump and box really is fine. been on 35's for 7 years of hard wheeling and its still going strong. 37s would even be fine for a while. next step would be hydro assist for @ least 1k. If you want to go the cheaper route you can always get your old pump drilled for hydro
