Power steering cooler question

[fsj-earl]

I am in the process of replacing my entire steering system with an AGR box and pump. Is it worth taking the time and spending the money to add a power steering fluid cooler? If so, are the aluminum finned http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DER-13249/ ones better, just as good as, no different than the little mini radiator style ones http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DER-13212/ ? Also, any suggestions for mounting locations? Thoughts? Opinions? Experience?

What sized tire do you run/plan on running? I really dont think you will need a cooler after all those upgrades.

A good cooler never hurts and they're a good idea to protect your investment.

The only coolers I've heard to stay away from in a steering system are the plate style ones. Both of the ones you pointed out would be fine.

Currently running 34's but will hopefully be going to 36's or 38's in the near future.

Get a larger stand-alone transmission cooler, and then use the trans cooler in the radiator as your power steering cooler...

If you're running big tires and a front locker, a ps cooler is a good idea.
