lowrangeoffroad.com or www.locktup4x4.com.au have hydro assist kits etc for the hiluxes and allready tapped ifs boxes i think.Or you could see a hydraulic shop and price up ram,lines etc

Id be thinking you will need atleast a ifs box or something bigger,id hate to see my lux try to turn anything over 35s
DO AWAY WITH YOUR STEER BOX AND GO FULL HYDRO??

increase your pump pressure, will burn pump's out quicker but make it easier to steer.
