Question What ram cylinder for Lee 800 box?

Stock steering system, except for Lee's 800 box. I will upgrade the pump, but not right away. I want to add ram assist, what size and stroke works best with Lee 800 box?

The ram will be mounted to the tie rod going between stock steering knuckles on the Ford Dana 60.

The stroke is determined by the travel of a spot marked on the tie rod and measured lock to lock.

The bigger the ram, the bigger the pump. If you're running 37's or so, nothing bigger than 1.5" to 1.75" will work fine.

You will need the pump sooner than you think.

I might just forgo a few spreaders on the cage for now and get a pump instead.
