    I was thinking about that as well. You and I have both broken their product. I wonder how frequent this is.

    Isn't Bill's a newer model? Yikes! We'll test their durability in two weeks!!! 😉

    I asked Bill if he broke his and he said he didn't. :? Are we just trying to start Swayloc rumors? 😏

    I could have sworn he said he broke his on that Strawberry run when Brad broke his. Who was it that broke one then?

    But maybe I am just subconsiously trying to start crap 😳

    I broke mine on strawberry. I don't think anyone else did on that specific run...

    No, somebody mentioned breaking theirs in the same spot on that run.

    I got the Hydro assist tacked in today. It cycles good with no binding. Before I do the fianl welds and supports, I have to check to make sure that when the axle flexes that the ram doesn't hit anything...

    First spot as shown in the picture didn't work 😈 once the suspension was compressed, the ram was hitting the pitman arm when turning...second choice didnt work either! With the way my front steering is set up for the low lift I have had to move the ram almost to the passenger knuckle and build new custom brackets and tabs to get it as close to the top of the tie rod..Round three was successful 😁 Problem now is running the hydraulic lines which don't have a lot of flex in them. I have been fighting with them for a couple hours trying to route them where they won't bind of rub on anything causing a leak.. Gave up for today 😈 maybe I should go back to running 5 or 6 inches of lift..Life would be much more easy when it comes to building and installing steering stuff 😁



    Tomorrow I'm hoping to get the system filled and driving 🙄

    All installed and driving good 🍺 Before when I would press my brakes, I would lose steering because of my Hydro boost brakes. Now I can turn the wheel with one finger with the brakes fully applied. I put my driver tire sidewall up against a pole then turn the wheel. The ram moved pushed the jeep sideways in the dirt 😁 No problem moving the 40's anymore...It took a little ingenuity to get everything to fit in there, but the pay off was worth it!!



    Cost of the PSC ram to my door was 249.00..I put about another $30 into it..Less than $300 for top quality steering

    The only thing I have ever ripped off at the Hammers was a brake line 😈 Breaking, bending, smashing, denting, and twisting things is a different story 😁

    Rob,

    You should show some current pics of your jeep compared to those above. I recall most things are fixed and the body is straightened,

    I will just plan on a much higher line at the end of Wrecking ball this time 😁 That was where I dented the passenger side hood, I can't remember where I did the driver side :?:

    Good find Kevin!! I need to call them because it looks like they have exactly what I need to get my tie rod higher without going full high steer.....

    So that's a Tie Rod and Drag link together in that kit?



    It looks pretty interesting.

    Nope, what I am looking at is going with their high steer arms..drag link will go to the high steer arm and the tie rod will be on heims to their bolt knuckle kit..I would use the configuration in one of the first 4 pictures..
