It turns them well enough for now. I will add a hydro assist in a few years or sooner if I feel I can't turn well enough. Not enough $$ to do it now

As far as I know, that is only a bolt in mod for TJ's. Won't work on a YJ unless I wasn't doing something right. (No need to comment on that last statement).
If you will live like no one else now. You can live like no one else later.
