Well, why didn't you drive it?

Did you put it in any mud?

4.56s on 44's. That's a new one on me.

After deciphering what you just said...

Yes, it'll will help you greatly. Tho, most individuals that make this modification have a bit heavier steering linkages than your stock steering. I envision your links folding in half. But I'm sure that one of your buds have done it and it worked fine.

Dear god, you can NOT follow instructions.

1 9-7258-6 1.5X6X1 DA HYD CYL SWIVEL 79.95"

There's a reason you were supposed to get the 6" stroke cylinder. The throw on a Dana 44 is right at 6 inches. You're going to have to put internal stops in the cylinder. A LOT of them.

"There's a lot of chatter about putting spacers in the ram to limit travel to match the exact tie rod travel. Some people say stuff breaks if you don't limit it, others have run without spacers. I'm going to try it without inserting spacers."

This is from your beloved link.

This tells me that this guy likes to cut corners just as badly as you do.

At least to me a favor and put the ram on the tie rod. Please don't put it on your drag link that is connected to your ghetto fabulous pitman arm.
