ram assist



The ram placement is limited

first attempt



line placement is good

no binding on the lines

 

[mrqtipp]

line placement



ram placement is off the upper link

I am not sure if the placement of the ram off of the upper link will destroy the JJ's

anyone ever mounted the hydro assist off of the upper link?

Any thoughts???

X2 ..

and about your ram place .. I don't think it's the best place .. maybe not the force by itself .. but the bumps, and hits on the ram will be shared by the arm and JJ ..

Looks tight the space there .. but another shot to find another place .. ?

P.S. which pump are you using . ?

You expect that tiny high lift to be of any use to your rig?? I use just about all of my 60" tall highlift on my SOA 60.

You could strap the suspension so it doesnt drop all the way!

I am courious to see if the ram placement will work.

I am going to look at one more potential ram location on the front side of the axle but I would have to fabricate a protection plate if it works.

I blew out my pump a year or so ago and picked up a new one from a local rebuilder. Nothing special

I am running a cooler and amsoil. we will see how it works.

I cut 4" off the hi'lift and in the past I never went that high.

We will see if it useless. Way too much travel in the shocks to get one tire off the ground. I can grab the front bottom links but the rear would be challenge. A couple of straps might get a done..


Thanks for responses
