Manual steering

[krustyballer16]

Thinking about running a manual steering box in my ls swap MJ...
Anybody hate a manual steering MJ?
 
I don't figure it'd be that hard to turn the wheel, just like any other nob power vehicle but just want others' opinions
 
Running manual steering would save me from having to buy Relocation brackets to move the alternator and power steering pump up to clear the steering box

The 2.5L that I used to own was manual steering.

 

It's not the worst thing in the world.  But, you definitely know theres no power steering.  Maneuvering in parking lots (or any low speed) can be a b*@ch, sometimes.

My MJ originally didn't have it, up to 31" tires it was manageable but once I went to 33s it was a necessity.

 

A street truck with small tires would be ok, you will wish you had power on  anything that goes off road.

Ya, this will be a go fast street truck. 225s probably

I have a manual Steering box in my blue truck but plan to put it back to power steering. It steered around pretty easy but I don’t have all the delete brackets for the 4.0

You will hate manual steering, especially with an engine heavier than a 2.46 Jeep motor. 

Not only is it unassisted, it is like steering a tugboat.
