A ton more stress on the knuckles if the driver likes to hold the steering wheel at full lock.

you would have 23614 lbs of torque at the king pin ( if i did my math right )

so, if your cylinder stroke is longer than the swing of the high steer arms your going to pop the top off your knuckles

when are lbs a unit of torque   :o


i am sure troys PS pump might make 200 psi not 2000   8)

limiting spacers could be put on the ram, but seems like a lot of clap trap for the wrong size ram

I've come to learn I suck at axle identifying, both rears are Sterling 10.25 ,stripped one threw it on my trailer along with 5 batteries, 12 rotors and some junk r. $100 back into buggy find.
No major issues at Rausch, throttle cable kinked and broke, replaced with a spare I thankfully had. Sat morning disconnected my Transfer case shifter and manually put it in 4low and this thing became a crawling machine

Diff cover right? Still have, unused. Was there something else? Disk brake brackets maybe? They should still be there too
