I need help deciding on which ram to get. I was going to go with a 2x8 from Psc but after reading around seems like it will be slow on the road? I'm running 38.5 now and going to go to 44 or bigger one day and want plenty of beef while maintaining some street manners. What do you guys think.

What are the pros and cons of a2" ram versus a smaller 1.75 or 1.5" ram

you can chose the speed of your steering with what orbital valve you go with. i know at least trail gear gives you a chart showing how many turns lock to lock you will have depending on your set up, and im sure others have charts also.
