Here we go thought I would share my Ram assist set up with yall that I have going on the truck Sunday. Came out to only 183.00 bucks
Just thought it would help out a fellow wheeler looking to do ram assist.
Power steering pump is still stock and plan on drilling it out for more pressure.
Pictures and photos of the install coming Soon.:toast:

The Installe
1st I installed the steering gear box and the hydrolic hoses to the ram and gear box, and added fluid and made sure nothing was leaking the ram was working in the correct direction i turn the tire.
2nd I Cut the bracket on the driver's side of the axle cuz it would be in the way of the ram assist.
make sure you cut it all off like this
3rdI installed the first tab to the axle near the edge of the pumpkin in a angle and tacked welded It, top and bottom
4th I turned the tire all the way driver and lined up the ram and tab to the steering link It was a little to long and had to thread it down. I ended up cutting 2" off the ram so it would be correct lenght and would fit inside the tab.
Make sure you grind it to fit the the link like this for a better weld
5th After i made sure everything was well and turn correctly i welded the tabs to the axle and the drive link
