Just got my box and ram back, and was up under there trying to find a place to put the ram.. it's all pretty tight under there.

Anyone with the stock 1/2 ton suspension setup (radius arms, coils, track bar) setup a hydraulic ram on their axle? If so, do you have any pictures, or thoughts about installing the ram?:confused:

Paul, you may want to post this on the General 4X4 board too. Also, try a search, there have ben several threads showing how folks have mounted their ram

Yeah, found lots of pictures of it mounted with a Leaf Spring suspension, but nothing with coils and a track bar.. :/

Ford had a factory setup on an F-150. I know it's not the same thing. But you might be able to use some of their idea's and mounts. You could use the stock ram and mount, and the new taped power box.

Heres how I'm mounting mine on a full width hi-pin44.I know your axle trak bar mount is lower but I hope these will be of some help.

Don't think I c an mount mine that way.. the end of the Ram would hit the track bar I think..
