Running a saginaw pump and extra PS fluid reservoir?
It's not a pressure issue. I have a psc Saginaw style pump and a resivior that holds 3 qts, a large cooler, and the rest of the system. Total fluid capacity is around 1.25 gallons. Lol
The booster is s restriction in flow, not allowing enough fluid to be passed through. I will be removing my hydroboost and going back to vac booster with electronic pump.
There is a guy on pirate that will open up the flow inside the hydroboost unit, and complete rebuild it for around 500-600 bucks.

Good info to know! I'll plan on keeping Bruiser's vacuum booster then 
id rather have the hydro brakes than power assist for street use.
maybe it would be awesome in an off road rig, but
delayed steering? no thank you
600+ bucks to upgrade? no thank you.

Thus why I warned the masses.

Since I have a pavement pounding dually, Bruiser will primarily be an off road rig. Always kept the "weekend warrior" idea with it so it would be capable/reliable both on and off road. 8" stroke dual action rams are less than $100 from TSC along with inexpensive 1/4" hydraulic hoses. Besides, if you NEED hydro assist on road, you should probably think about smaller tires

that is the most unmanly thing ive ever heard

my truck has spent more time without one than with. Dont really need one if everything is in good shape and steering gear set up nice and tight. This is with very round very small tires though...
I guess it was read that I was saying you NEED a dampener.
I agree, the two we installed the dampener on were just fine without it. It just made the road manners nicer for being daily drivers. We were not trying to "correct" a problem, just make driving on the crappy rural roads a bit less jarring to the wrists....

This is for the 6 door right?
if so I say don't bother it's more of a Mall Crawler you couldn't fit that truck any place you would need a winch or suspension upgrades.

ive fit this truck in a few sticky situations.
it will handle its own offroad.
as far as needing a winch, better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
and it was built to travel in the snow, self sufficiently.

The dana 60 I rebuilt and installed in my truck has no steering stabilizer. I have no shimmy or wobble of any kind. I would say it has less bump steer than the dana 44 I took out.
I run a single monroe cheapo special on the SD frame, which started leaking a few months after being installed.
That beign said, it would probably be ok for factory sized tires but doing medium speed over rough terrairn, with the 37s Id go with either a) a better quality and higher valved single, or duals. Sometimes i let the wheel a little loose in my hands so it can shake back and forth adn do its thing rather than fight it as it does feel quite violent at times.

Running duals can prematurely wear the other steering components.
Not for a off road rig, total different ball game.
My truck came with one. I do probably need to replace it, but I don't currently have any steering problems.
