Ive got a 77 CJ-5 that i lifted last week and put it on 33 inch boggers, and i took it out into the woods today for the first time since the lift, and now im curious as to how hard it would be to put power steering on it. Its not as hard as i thought it would be, but i think i might try to put power steering on it. What all parts do i need? Is it as easy as getting the bracket to bolt the pump to the motor, get a longer belt, run the lines and hook it up, or is there more to it than that? Any help would be great.

Not too hard.  Just gotta plan it out, and take your time.  I did it to my 74 cj5, and it took 6+ months, but it was my first major modification to any vehicle I have ever attempted.  
I recommend getting in touch with the people at http://www.jwjeep.com for all your parts.  They can help you out a lot.  If you have any questions, feel free to email me at jereader1@yahoo.com
