Stock XJ is like 3.5 lock to lock so I figured that was reasonable. A bigger ram later on would get me under 3 pretty easily.

Most cars are 3-4 lock to lock.
This is what i modeled mine around. In a panic mode i wanted the buggy to react as expected. 99% of the time im driving a street vehicle.
Right now im at 3 lock to lock

uneven power lock to lock (again, i never noticed this) if you can feel the difference then your system was designed wrong from the start.

What size rod were you running with your 2.5x10 ram? A 2.5x8x1.125 gives me 3 turns one way and 4 the other with a 9.7 cu in steering valve. For comparison, what did yours end up being?
Going to 2.5x8x1 makes it 3.4 and 4 turns... but that size isn't an option on Surplus Center. 2.5x10x1 is an option though... is that why you went with a 10" ram and put a limiting collar on it? My 8" assist ram is a perfect match for my steering range, but I have it limited a little to keep the tires out of the links.

I needed 9" of total stroke. I cut the stops off the axle to get a little more steer...

On paper, what was the difference in turns L and R with your SE setup?
I already pulled the trigger on the 9.7 cu in steering valve. 3 turns lock to lock one way, 4 the other.
