If the oe pump is new and you say the box is leaking then I would think the box is about to fail not the pump or it could be a loose hose as well. Redhead gears are great but I went with an oe replacement. Do you have trouble steering as well or is it just the leak? 37's will put more stress on the system so any weaknesses will show up easily.

Any tire larger than the stock size will increase the load on the steering gear box and require it to work harder. Thus, wearing out sooner. I would highly recommend a steering box stabilizer which will increase the lifespan of the stock gear box or any aftermarket box for that matter. There are a few to choose from, all of which function the same. I found that PSC Motorsports has one for about $200 including shipping.
