i am wanting to put ram steering on my beater. i know how the general idea works with the ram...but not to sure exactly how it steers. i know i need a pump...but what kind? i know i need a directional valve...but what kind? i have also heard of a "return to center" valve...do i need this? where do i get one? the truck will never see the streets so i dont need to worry about DOT. any and all input is highly appreciated...thanks

If you want to go full hydro steering, I can hook you up.
I can get the load reactive orbital valves ,that you mentioned, if that is what you want. E-mail me or PM me for the details.
