I have reverse high steer and have decided to mount my ram to my tie rod. I'm trying to decide wether to build a spring plate with a bracket, build a tower or a combination of both. I know I've seen some good ones but there's some I've seen in the past I can't find while searching. Please post up some pics and give me some ideas.

Thanks,
JP
 
Here is mine. Tube of steel threaded for bolt that goes thru ram. Tie rod has triangular tab with steel cylinder for other end.

Works so far, it was on the axles when I bought them.

Thanks a lot guys. Exactly what I wanted to see.
1-tonmudder that's what I was thinkin for the spring plate. I'm assuming it's been good because you posted it. I was a little worried it wouldn't be beefy enough. I already made somethin similar a couple of years ago for my dampener.

The only thing is to use the poly-fil nuts.I didnt and they get a little loose somtimes.I should have centered it a little better so I can get the cyl bolt out without droppin the u-bolt.

Boz42 has a nice set up too,you might search for his build thread.

Greg72 used this on his.
