Where can I pick up some new power steering pump lines(the rubber one, not the hard lines) that connect to the steering box? B/c of my 2" body lift the return line is kinda stretched and its not sitting on the barb right where it should be.

Hoses should be fine with a body lift. None of the pressure plies have a barbed fitting, they should all be crimped. And those lines go from the engine (mounted on the frame) to the steering box (also mounted on the frame) so unless you have raised the engine, there is no affect of the body lift on the pressure lines. The reservoir to pump line can sometimes pull tight. You can either relocated the reservoir a bit lower on the fender ot slip the hose out on the barbed fitting a little. That one is not a pressure hose and should easy to get a longer one.

if youre looking down at the steering box in front of the engine bay it is the line that connects to the barbed fitting on the left hand side of the box, next to the screw in line. it doesn't have any metal parts, just two clamps on each side. it's about 10 inches long. this isnt the greatest pic but it's the line w/ the bolt on type clamp on it. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/gromnvabeach/CIMG1430.jpg)

OK, that is the line that returns to the little cooler loop. Mine was OK at 3" of lift. That is not a high pressure line as it just returns fluid from the box to the pump. Should be no problem to find a length of replacement hose and clamp it to the barbed fittings if needed.

You may already know this, but DO NOT use regular heater hose for these lines. Use hose that will not be broken down by the fluid such as a tranny cooler line or similar.

To me that does not look like the OEM line. On mine that is a molded hose. I bought a new one at the dealer, it was a bit pricey.
Looks like it is time to re-seal the steering box!!!!!
