After searching and coming across some good info, i still need a couple things cleared up.. I went with the rock logic kit from blazenoffroad.com along with the jkw cap. My first question is with the caps. I ran my line that went from the front cap to the drivers side port on the ram, and took the other line that is mounted to the top cap and ran it to the pass. side port. Now is that how others who are using the caps set up their lines? Or is it the other way around. I tried to find some pics but had no such luck. I also started bleeding the system, and i was able to turn the tires, not too far b/c my tires were buired into my fenders and it was a little tough to turn, but still able to do it.. so do i have it mounted right? Also for bleeding the system, after cranking the wheels with out the motor running and the level of the power steering fluid doesnt change anymore is it cool start the truck and start turning the tires back and forth, or am i missing something? After searching i found a whole bunch of different methods, and wasnt sure which to follow, so if guys could direct in the right direction, then that would be awesome. Thanks for the help.
 
If you have all lines hooked up and you can turn the wheels then you've gotten the lines hooked up correctly. To properly bleed the system you should have the wheels off the ground and start the engine and slowly start cycling the wheels full lock left to right about 20 times. If you can't seem to get the air out you might need to have someone give you a hand and loosen a line at the ram while someone turns the wheel and when fluid comes out the tighten the line and try again.
