i was at the junk yard the other day and ran across one of these. it looked almost exactly like an SII box. anyone got pics of one...i had one but it was pixelated real bad. you think it could handle some 38s? just curious.
The SII box is more than capable of handling the pressures of 38's...It is actually the best component on the entire steering system. There is much more to worry about to run 38's successfully and routinely.
1. Pump
2. Lots of cooling
3. Links and TRE's
4. Bracing
Those 38's are more than enough beef to disagree with the frame. Much over 32's are as well. You will need to beef or oversize your links with that much contact surface area as well. The tiny tiny little 5/8 TRE's on the stock links are also not ready for that kind of resistance.
Are you thinking of running Hi-steer? This is going on an 80/800 right?
If so then it is best if you do all this at the same time. Don't forget about placement of the box relative to the knuckles. Short knuckle steering arms and long pitman are o.k. as long as you place the box accordingly.
So I would think that the Nissan box would also cause a headache requiring custom high pressure side hoses. Ones that go from flare/jic whatever to Metric...great for trail fixes...
Gonna have to agree with Binder on this one, but I will say that I read an article about how to convert an old bronco to a nissan pump back in the day.
But we don't drive broncos, do we.

thanks guys, i was just wondering if it could handle some serious tire. im going to see if i cant get a SII box real cheap somewhere. the 350 i have already has the pump and whatnot on it, so im not worried about all that.
If you get an SII box just get a new one. At auto zone and checker they were like 160.00 for a rebuilt with a life time warranty. NAPA was like 180.00 for a rebuilt.
Hey Hey Hey, now thats playin' dirty :flipoff2: :flipoff2: Its not my fault my piped and propane injected SD33T, belches noxious gasses every where it goes!! It is almost as fast as a 304......almost
I was just ribbin ya on that one. I don't know squat about that little deisel so I can't judge. I just knew it would get a reaction out of a few of you.
Next week.
