Paul,
You have any pics of how you mounted your ram? I searched a while and most of the pics had it cut off just showing hoses and the gearbox. I welded the supplied tabs on top of the axle housing at the very edge. I'd like to see how much of an angle you have on your ram to the tie rod. There's no way the supplied tabs are gonna work welded on the tie rod unless I run a pretty good angle. I'm trying to keep everything parallel to keep bindage to a minimum. It looks like I'm gonna need 2 longer tabs to keep the cylinder halfway parallel on the tie rod end.

Do you have any problems with the tie rod ends rotating downward and the ram assist mounts hitting on the ubolt flip plates?

Pat

i think hes selling them with a heim joint on that end now. as your steering goes through the stroke your tie rod moves for and aft a bit and it binds unless you leave a little slack(gap) in the mounting surface at that end. i just barely had to trim the drivers side ubolt plate.

i can get some pix sunday, my runner is getting some mods at the exhaust shop....
