every rig is different, you'll have to measure, pretty easy to do turn yur wheels lock to one direction, put a mark on your axle, one on your tie rod, then move the wheels to the opposite lock and measure the distance between the marks, thats the strock you will need plus about one inch.

you'll also need a better pump to get the right pressure for the ram. im running the PSC setup and love it. the steering is better then stock, minus the crappy dead spots created from the RK steering. i haven't mounted my ram yet cause i simply can't figure out how i wanna mount it and don't wanna go thru the hassle of doing it twice since i know im swapping out my RK steering soon. but im sure once i do, it will get even better. as it is now, when the front axle is locked and driving down a normal dirt road it feels like a stock wrangler again....its kinda fun.
PSC and the like add new boxes to their kits simply because they are beefier boxes, with better ratios, and some people are just lazy and don't wanna drill and tap. i went with the full kit cause my box was dead and my pump was leaking like crazy so it just made sense.
John....dans steering is solid stock. and just about every aftermarket hydro assist doesn't come with directions, cause there are too many variables out there to make a good set of directions.

I have an 8" ram to get about 7" and just shim it. No need for the upgraded pump, unless thats what you want

For the price of that kit, I am sure you could piece it together a little cheaper through various supplyers. Get the ram from Northern tool, the lines from Parker Hydraulic, make the taps, bolts and random fittings from a hardware store i think im gonna go out for a burger, i might be able to save .16 cents if i get the buns from mc donalds, the meat from bk, the cheese from dairy queen, ketchup from the blind guy who sells hotdogs in dedham square(there free he wont see you take them). i know a guy in southie who makes the best homemade french fries for cheap. and a 64 oz. soda from hess on center st. in west rox. when you get it home you have 15 bags of crap from all over the place. the kit is a good deal its all there and nothing you might forget, and have to pay a 5th shipping charge on. jps4jeep, are you a fan of johnny cash. he wrote a song for you. one piece at a time....

That steering set-up isn't going to break anytime soon. It's 1/4 inch think tubing.

i feel like if you put hydro on a stock steering setup, the stock tie rod would bend itself in half instantly
