Does anybody have any feedback on the PSC hydro assist kit.  I know they will also tap the boxes.

I have heard alot of good things about PSC..

BUT.. I have also heard of atleast one horror story from their equipment as well.. (fluke?)

The positives have over weighed the negatives for sure..

No person experiance but i'd give em' a try.

That's what I was thinking.  I have very good things with only a few bad, but all businesses experience that.

I think you should buy the TG KIt.  It looks like a high quality china POS

A good friend of mine had a ton of trouble with them.  He placed his order, missing 8 different pieces.  Called them up, and they still shorted him 3 pieces.  Another call, finally got it right.  He installed their PS pump, didn't work since they sent him the wrong pump.  Sent it back, got another one, didn't work and made a ton of noise.  The third pump finally worked.  He was putting on hydro assist and went though several GALLONS of ATF and 10+ hours of switching pumps and bleeding his HA system.

I'm giving the trail gear stuff a shop. I have heard people say bad things about their full hydro set up but none of them are actually running it. I am not by any means a fan of trailgear, or trailmart, what ever you want to call them but I am going to try their full hydro set up. I recieved a very complete kit and the guys that I have talked to that are actually running it love it. We'll see how it goes. My fingers are crossed.

I run psc hydro assist with a tc pump and so do alot of the guys i wheel with and it has never let me down. The tc pump is far better then a stock or modded stocker, the resevoir hold quite a bit of extra fluid and the jic fittings are easy to use and they dont leak. Plus they are reusable. Lance at psc is good to deal with. When i bought mine the 6" ram was just a little too much stroke so i sent it back to them and they put a spacer inside the cylinder to destroke it to 5.25 and shipped it back to me NO CHARGE. Tapping your box is too easy though, i wouldnt have them do that :twocents:
