I was wandering how is it possible to run dual single ended rams? Do you just put a T in the lines going to the rams? I am thinking about just doing dual rams on my front rockwell.

Dual single ended rams

Why would you do that? If you're going to full hydro, why not just use a double ended ram?

Because I cant afford a double ended ram. I would spend around $400 for a double ended ram where as I am spending $150 for 2 single ended rams. I have seen lots of guys do it and it works great.

I'v never seen it. I have a single sided ram that was gonna go on my buggy but i think it's gonna go back on the burb and a double ended one will go on the buggy. theres not much room to mount to singles on there.

They also sell steering valves but station has them cheaper.

WOW thanks for that link. I can get a 2.5"X10" ram for $210. That will make things a lot easier. ANyone have any experience with these rams? I will probably be ordering it next week.

Also what is station becuase I will be needing a orbital valve. Also is it a good brand? I was thinking about going with PSC or POS for the valve since that is gonna be a important part and I would rather do it right the first time but if the price is right and the quality is good then I am open to other options.

Nevermind I just remember who station is. I have talked to him before and he really knows his stuff. I would of loved to go with his steering but I would of ended up spending $1800 for it plus hoses. I just cant swing that right now. So I am trying to piece together some stuff just so that I can get my rocks under the truck and sell my 10 bolt and 14bolt which I have a guy interested in.
Also what is the actual brand of the rams at that surplus place?

I can't Say what the brand is because I am not sure. When I priced out hydro stuff , station had the best price on steering valve's I could Find. Just make sure you get a cooler , and resovoir. They are very important. But Surplus center was cheapest on ram's. Also If you call station to order the valve tell him the ram size , and he will tell you what cu in you need for what you want to do with it.
