offroadr35 08-20-2002, 05:46 PM a couple guys on the classicbroncos BB were asking me to take some pics of my hydro-assist steering on my EB. I figured i'd post them here for you guys to see also. I took a bunch of pics but the lighting was bad and my hands were shakey...these are the only ones that came out half-decent. The ram... offroadr35 08-20-2002, 05:59 PM the blurry box... IronBenderII 08-20-2002, 08:18 PM what about the details????? The write-up???? Where'd you get the parts, how much, etc. -Jack offroadr35 08-20-2002, 08:26 PM Originally posted by IronBenderII what about the details????? The write-up????

So far I've had no trouble with it. I think I've even banged it a couple of times but those things are tough. I also carry caps for the ports on the steering box and the ram so if damage does occur then I just go back to regular steering. High5 08-21-2002, 06:00 PM i run full hydro on my jeep and i run the tie rod in the stock location. all i did was build a bracket above the axle tube and then the ram ties into the top of the tie rod. if you have any problems mangleing your ram you might give it a try. you might not have any problems though because i have seen others with them mounted low. they just seem like rock magnets to me. time will tell i guess.

Installation by FST (http://www.flynhi.com/fst.htm) SMART ASS 08-22-2002, 01:36 PM with the ram setups, do you still need a steering stabilizer? Ultim8kaos 08-22-2002, 03:34 PM No more stabilizer necessary with the rams. The tires can shake like hell and hit rocks whatever, the steering wheel is smooth as can be! :D Explorer 08-22-2002, 04:36 PM Mine just hadn't been removed yet when the photo was taken. duckdon 08-22-2002, 04:42 PM What steering box is used and what kind of mods were needed? TIA Explorer 08-22-2002, 05:01 PM Stock steering box needs to have two ports drilled and threaded. Hydraulic hoses run to the ram and that's it.
