What is EHPS?
EHPS stands for Electric Hydraulic Power Steering. It's a hybrid system that uses an electric motor to drive a hydraulic pump, delivering powerful and consistent steering assist—especially useful for vehicles with big tires and heavy-duty setups. Unlike traditional belt-driven mechanical pumps, EHPS provides on-demand power steering assistance.

These vehicles cannot use traditional mechanical pump conversions, so the EHPS boost kit is the perfect solution to maximize your steering performance while maintaining the factory EHPS system.
