Ok, the ram I got from West Texas Offroad finally took a crap. I am not going to bother with fixing it because I think it was a POS to begin with. :mad: Anyhow I believe it is a 1 1/2" with 8" stroke and I am looking for a replacement. The ram on it now has been on it for about 1 1/2" years and probably 3 to 4 thousand miles. I am looking for a good replacement that will last. I am thinking about getting one from PSC but want some info from everybody as to what they run and how it has held up.
 
I'm running a rocklogic 1.5x8 and I love it. After seeing a friends psc ram, i've gotta say it's impressive.
 
I love my PSC 1.75x8" ram. The guy i got my axles and crossover from ran a WTO ram and sheared the ram in half going up a slight hill. In comparison to my ram and koldsimers Rocklogic..The PSC has much larger heims, bigger ports into the ram, and i beleive a slightly larger ram. Not knocking rocklogic, great ram and hasnt failed koldsimer who is very hard on his rig.

I wanna drive your truck to see if I can feel any difference in the speed on the street. Oh yeah, I BABY my truck. :haha:
 
Unless your just totally unhappy give WTO another call Matt is usaully pretty easy to deal with. He is good at making things right.

I have nothing against Matt but I think I will pass.
 
what was it about the WTO ram that you didn't like. I was considering their kit and don't wanna step into a beartrap.
 
Only problem I have ever heard is leaking. Never heard about bad rams but there is always something right. Most rams are rebuildable unless its bent. Ill take it!!:wink1:
 
don't throw the old ram away. I am close to you and would like it if you aren't going to do anything with it. even if it's not rebuildable it would be fun to tinker with.
 
I'm running a PSC ram 1.5" x 8" and love it. The ports are bigger than the rocklogic and the ram is a quality designed piece.
 
how does agri rams compare .. yea sucks they are not heims but as long as you mount them parellel you should not have a problem right? just a nig as 3/4" bolt going through them and the tabs
 
I've been really happy with my Rock Logic 1.5"x8" Now if I could only get my pump upgraded to make it work right :)
 
I like my PSC 1.75X8 but it has only been on the street. Of course the street driving was with a locked rear and welded front:D. Before I get flamed it was only around the block and not more than 15 MPH. I will give a full tested report after TDS.

Once I get it off I am going to tear it apart and see if it can be fixed. What I didn't like about it is it pretty much leaked ever since I put it on. Another reason I am not going with another ram from WTO is I can get the PSC ram cheaper then what Matt wants for his rams.
 
I've ran Rockstompers 1.5 ram for 3 years now..
I bent the rod 2 years ago..still no leaks.
