The ram works!! I know it the install isn't clean. Gonna work on that next. Just tested it 1/2 an hour ago.
My 'kit' is a homebuilt special. I had a Surplus Center 2.0" cylinder lying around. Ordered some hose and fittings from them and drilled and tapped my 4x4x2 box. I have several housings around (keep breaking sector shafts), so I didn't have much to lose if I did it wrong.
I didn't have enough room to attach the ram to the tie rod, so it is on the drag link. Probably not the ideal setup, but that is all I had to work with. I am running 33" tires, so the steering doesn't have a ton of load on it while trying to crawl. But while racing in the fast sections, the steering wheel wants to rip out of my hands. Between that and the cracked sector shafts, I figured this might help a bunch.
