Default Dual Full Hydraulic Steering

Anyone know who has the best deal on full hydraulic steering? Don't mind spending some $, just want to get a good deal! KE has it for 3475.00. Any better deals? I've owned my own of road shop & worked for GM forever & hate paying retail for anything!!!

Bill at dimaondperformanceparts.com has some of the best pricing anywhere and excellent customer service. He is on the boards here. You can send him a PM or email and he is very prompt. I bought all my new parts through him.

most kits use basiclly the same parts...just beware of the hoses...it's best to get the kit without them and have a local Hyd shop press fit the ends on..several including myself had issues keeping the ends on...mine was a hardin from CP and they were great to work with...

Thanks for the replies fellas! It does seem odd, its a charlyn valve, brackets for transom, 2 rams, and hoses for 3-4g. Thinking of piecing it together, I have lots of experience with hydraulic steering on my rock crawlers. I think the convenience in buying a complete kit is the lure! Still undecided, but will check out the places you guys mentioned.

I went with Hardin. Good quality, no issue with the hoses, and great support.
