Dual steering stableizers what brand to buy
If it was available at the time, I would have loved to buy the new Fox ATS. I love my dual Bilsteins, no dominant pull to either side.

I would have gone the FoxATS route as well. I do think the steering gear from the PSC system is worth it, I just can't advocate the ram. I don't know if the newer ones are better/different, but without the extra stabilization on mine--you can almost spin the steering wheel with one finger. I also disagree with their marketing on needing this for 35" tires. I went through 5 different vendors track bars and two steering solutions in the process of eliminating bump steer--before that was resolved---the ram made bump steer very dangerous. Much like a forced induction finds the weak points in the engine setup, the ram assist finds the weak points in the steering. I have no experience with the new trail/street version of the PSC--mine was originally marketed as the trail version and the other option was the extreme.
You dont find it strange man that you are using a hydraulic ram capable of lifting up your entire rig for steering and you have it friction clamped using 6 small pinch bolts on what appears to be an aluminum bracket? Im not trying to give you a hard time but that is a very unconventional setup for sure. It also appears by the picture that you have your hydraulic ram mounted in a non fixed position which is also very unconventional for this type of setup. I honestly would call the guys over at Redneck Ram and talk to them and send them a few photos of your steering setup. They are awesome guys and will be able to help you get the performance you should be out of that setup. I know what you are using wasnt cheap I would want it to work properly.

It's not rocket science to install this, but "Bolt-on" was incorrect for the 2008 version of this kit (at least on the 6spd). Here is the currie ram mount. Currie Enterprises CJ Axle Parts Right now, everything is working the way I want, it just took a while to get there. The main issue that I see is the ram assist coming up as a solution to steering "woes". It really depends on the "woes" and for most of the typical Jeep steering related issues--adding the ram assist is changing out/adding problems. Again, for rock crawling and large tires--great addition--necessary addition. But it is not a solution to making on-road handling better and it will definitely not help with bump steer/tracking problems. It took a lot of wallet draining to get to where my Jeep is now, and if I can add two cents that keeps someone else from wandering down a path of expense that doesn't provide a solution to the issue--that is why I am posting.

X3 for Show. Ran without for a week and loved it because stock SS couldnt be installed on my RK Pro TR. $250 later I got nothing but a push to the left from a Fox 2.0 and brackets. Guess I could have spent another $250 to fix the push. Looks cool but IMHO not the best money I spent.
Edit: Ooops... Sorry, it was already mentioned.
