So I’ve got the Warn hub kit on my dana 30. Love it but every time I check the bearings the lock nut is finger lose! Looked a little closer at it today and realized the grooves line up when tightened so I could get a 1/16” cotter pin in there!

The boost is nice at slow speeds. Heading out for a week long off road adventure the end of June. I’ll report back on how it held up and worked.

Got it all mounted up and plumbed. Drives great! It really does act as a super steering damper 😋 don’t feel any bumps in the steering wheel!

I’m curious to see how this holds up. Not the brackets, but the steering linkage itself. I’ll report back after a trail run.

I don’t have build pics but I used a steering stabilizer stud with the straight wall end cut off, drilled and welded it into a 5/16” plate piece, then welded the tabs to it. On the other side I put another set of tabs and fashioned a cam bolt at arrangement so I could tighten the bracket snug against the drag link.

So, I’m gonna get a lot of grief for this but I decided to try the hydro steer setup on my stockish steering. I do have the ZJ V8 tierod so we’ll see how it holds up. This is the bracket I built to attach the ram to the draglink.

So I had to cut about 1/4” off and taper it to the left. If I were to do this again I’d raise the shelf 1/4-3/8” higher and the steering would have cleared. Live and learn...

Ran into a bit of clearance issue. With my stock type steering setup, the drag link was hitting my bracket.

Did the normal CAD pattern, and cut out this piece. It needed a slight bend for the angle to work but since this is 3/16” plate I was able to do it with a hammer in the bench vise.

Decided it would be better to reinforce at the back of the mount.

I utilized the mounting tabs from the kit. Since the stabilizer mount is at an angle from the track bar mount, I needed a shelf to mount the tab.

All the interior fit right back in. The only trimming was to the plastic piece by the rear passenger door where the lower seat hinge sits. Only about a 1/4” tho.
