True Story. Regular power steering is more than ample for what our trucks can ride on.
Thats only true till you find yourself with a lokka up front. Then your all crying for not lifting weights everyday.
Right, but that's treating the symptom.
So, yes, its like you ARE stronger...but, the ease for you doesn't translate in to ease for everything from the steering wheel to the tires.
Hence the need to reinforce those components accordingly.
BTW - Driving with a locked front requires some technique in tight situations, just as driving with a locked rear on ice does....or driving on soft sand, or off camber, etc.
IE: When picking lines, its more analogous to driving on soft sand, in that you try to choose lines that avoid tighter turns, and go more for longer sweeping turns, having tires hit obstacles more perpendicular so as to avoid having to turn AGAINST a rock, etc. Guys with ordinary open diff'd fronts often have the exact same issues, in that they put the side of a tire against a rock, and try to turn INTO the rock to say climb it, etc....so that their steering system is straining against the load.
Typically, if its too hard to turn, there's a reason, and, backing up a smidge and repositioning is a better solution as far as the steering system is concerned.
Plan B - A Gym Membership IS less expensive than a hydro-assist system.
