Steering upgrade

Installed the hydraulic steering assist running off of the Saginaw 710 steering box installation went fairly easy the kit was put together by west Texas off-road. The steering now is very easy no matter what type of slow moving heavy mud I’m in but there is very little feedback in the steering not that it’s bad but might be strange on the highway.
also got to mess around on some dirt hills after the installl
mutiple times my drive shaft between the transfer case and first rear axle ran out of travel being to short and at times to long and at one point you can hear the u joint grinding because of the angle at the 1 min 30 sec mark.
Link to you tube video of that and driving through a swimming pool
