hi bud. jimny power steering bolts strait up to the sierra. usually around the $350 all the way to $600.

vitara power steer will bolt on but you need to make a wedge to clock the box back inline with the chassis. you also need to use a different pitman arm either from a jimny or a toyota (i think that was it).expect to pay around the same for this, but being more common to find can be had for cheep.

there a few kits you can use, you could use the full ps kit from a vitara, that way the pump would bolt on, but an adapter needs to be fabricated to bolt the steering box onto the chassis.
I used a full kit from a jimny. With the jimny kit the steering box bolts straight onto the chassis, however some modification of the pump bracket was needed to get the pump to bolt upto the engine, and to also adjust the belt tension.
Ideally if you could, it'd be easiest to get a jimny box and use a vitara pump and bracket and just get some lines made up to suit, but most people probably wouldnt separate a whole ps setup.
But any way you go you will have to make up a mount somewhere to mount the ps reservoir, i just made a small bracket and bolted it to the inside of the wheelwell.

Overall i got the whole jimny setup for $750, vitara is probably round the $4-500 mark.

ps it is the BEST mod i've done so far, makes it so much easier and nicer to drive especially offroad. You will not regret it
