Anyone ever put a cooler on the power steering pump of your rig?

I was thinking about doing this, on my '90 YJ. I am thinking all I need is a transmission cooler and then extend the 3/8" lines, on the suction side of the pump.

Any ideas/comments here?

I run a 15"x10" tranny cooler on the low pressure side. I also run an 18oz aluminum remote reservoir on the low pressure side, before the cooler. This makes almost a 1 gallon system. The pump and steering box let me know how much they like it by never whining. It reall does work well, the fluid can cool very quickly, even when turning, on rock with the front locked up.
