Default hydro assist. couple questions

sorting through my options, trying to pick the best plan of attack. please tell me of your hydro set up. what you like?


1. option: gwyn lewis has a bolt on set up for d1/rrc/def. that's for the 4 bolt box. can I change to that box? is it a more durable option? less torque?


2. option: toddco offers a ram and wants you to send your box and pump in to have them tapped and turned up. anyone running this? I do not see the need for the send in the box. could I not just tee into a line and tee off of the bleed screw? however, I have no experience turning up pressure on a pump. can I diy the pressure tuning? sounds like just a little dicking with a spring or shims


3. option: if I can diy (as mentioned above) I should be able to use any ram that fits, right?

what's wrong with yer arms dusty? and hey, let's not forget, paying attention to where yer goin' is prolly gonna save ya' from gettin' into spots where you need "hydro" help to steer out of (like bigazz mud pits). just sayin'...

Yeah.
I'd like a little lighter/easier/faster steering. And my wife gave me the "I can't even turn that stupid truck" line.

Can she even see over the steering wheel? Try adding some power steering fluid to the pump for her, geeze man!
