After you have completed the solid axle swap on your 95-04 2.7L Tacoma, you will need to upgrade your power steering pump so that you can turn those big tires on the trail. The stock pump works well enough for the stock IFS and stock tires, but once you put on larger tires the pump will not be able to put out enough volume to turn them fast enough, especially if you have a ram assist system installed. Trail-Gear has developed a power steering upgrade kit just for the 2.7L that includes all the brackets, hoses, and hardware that you will need to do the install right the first time. This kit includes an all steel TC style pump that puts out 4 GPM of flow at 1,450 PSI of pressure, so this pump will keep up with the extreme off road trails that solid axle Tacomas are known for frequenting. This kit is designed to work with an 86-95 Toyota IFS steering box, but an adapter fitting can be added to the end of the high pressure hose that will allow you to use this kit with almost any power steering box on the market. |
