Full Hydro Steering - pt. 1 - Ram Mounting and Custom DIY Double Sheer High Steer Knuckles.

[@laynebrannon9129]

Badass setup you've got going, looking forward to seeing it on the rocks!

[@PoisonSpyder038]

Beastly can’t wait to see it wrapped up and crawling some massive rocks!! 🤙

[@treehouseoffroad]

I would've loved to see you cut that 3/4" plate with a grinder! Time lapse! So cool what you're doing, it's on a whole different level than me (for now)

[@BackyardBeaters]

Took FOREVER... but cutting wasn’t the worst part, trying to drill the 3/4 hole through that 3/4” plate for the bolt with a hand drill was the worst 😂

[@susanneutley6122]

Super helpful. Great video 💗

[@jayceandjeremysadventures.4441]

Just ordered some of your decals for my ZJ.

[@BackyardBeaters]

So awesome!!! Thanks for the support! Make sure to tag me in a pic when you get them on!

[@qxr20]

you actually dont want the line of the cylinder right at the pivot, it changes your ackerman... you want it a straight line when it is turned away from the ram fully or halfway in between depending on preference...

[@qxr20]

knuckles look good !

[@Luckyy_Dawg]

Right on

[@zahari_s_stoyanov]

Also if you triangulate your axle, you won't be able to use a steering box

[@brandonwallet885]

Nice gloves man.

[@BackyardBeaters]

Yeah yeah yeah my girlfriend said the same thing 😂 I’ve got a new pair since then

[@blackhart3989]

Why do you need misalignment spacers if there is no flex in the system, just only pivoting on the bolt?

[@BackyardBeaters]

There is definitely some flex in the system when turning lock to lock, mine is straighter than most but it still changes, not enough to where spacers were a necessity for sure, but I just wanted them to be safe I wasn’t maxing out the heim ever. I also needed to space the heim away from the high steer arm for clearance, so the misalignment spacers are the easiest way to do that.

[@nathanpilon6806]

Were you able to use the 7/8’s heim on the inside with the clevis? I’m currently installing a PSC kit on my truck right now and was wanting to get some stronger veins. Thanks for posting the video!

[@BackyardBeaters]

No The Clevis has to use the heims it comes with and these little misalignment washers that are included. I’m not worried about them breaking. More likely to break a clevis tbh. I plan to buy a spare clevis to keep in the glove box

[@FunAdventuresImp]

Can't wait to see your zj in action I've seen it before and thought it was an awesome unit!! All your video are wiked too! I was curious what do you think if I put a dodge dana 60 cad out of a 2500 dodge truck , on the front of my 97 zj or should I go get a ford Dana 60 out of f250 diesel I plan on doing pretty much like your setup

[@BackyardBeaters]

Ford all the way. Get that high pinion

[@FunAdventuresImp]

Hey I also I have a dodge Dana 80 out of the back of that truck Should I get a ford rear Dana 60 or do you think it's ok to run the dodge out back on my zj

[@FunAdventuresImp]

I was curious too how much travel your shocks have? I was thinking 12" for my setup ,is that alot or fair in your opinion? Just considering the shock hoops in the rear !

[@BackyardBeaters]

I’m not of fan of Dana 60 rears, go 14 bolt rear and Ford 60 front. That’s the winning combo

[@BackyardBeaters]

12s are plenty. 12s front and rear set up properly is more travel than most will ever need. I just switched to 14s in the front, and I’m running them angled back so I’m getting about 20” of whee travel out of the front

[@jessefulton7740]

Hey I have a 98 grand cherokee and Im looking to one ton it, what year can I use that will work beat for the jeep?

[@phillipstuart3318]

Has anyone ran full hydro On the street And how was it

[@phillipstuart3318]

I know its not legal Just want to know how it works on the street

[@BackyardBeaters]

Not ideal, but drivable, not very safe. Super touchy. Not recommended unless it’s a trailer queen

[@Alvon_PR]

@@BackyardBeaters i want to solid axle swap on my Frontier D30 but i still use it for daily, using Full Hydro Steering was okay for daily? My plant was the solid axle with triangulated 4 link suspension and tuss.

[@michaelterrill6444]

Bruh. Buy some gloves

[@MegaMarclar]

um.. uh. uuum. uuuuhmmm. um. like listening to a 13 year old girl. lol
