I know you're probably right but when I see photos of this setup that ram just seems to be yelling "hit me, hit me!", know what I mean?
IDK, maybe once I get the system on and I can see it first hand I'll be more comfortable without one.
Is anyone else out there with the hydro assist running a skid for the ram cylinder on a PR44 (or any 44 for that matter) front end?
I'm running psc cylinder on my G2 44 and thought the same thing when I mounted it as I have tweaked my tie rod a few times. I've had a few wheeling trips now and haven't had an issue with anything hitting my cylinder
Good to know. What tie rod are you running? Got a photo of your setup?
Stock tie rod.
I don't have a pic but will get one tonight.
that's a good pointHonestly a skid really shouldnt be needed to protect a ram on a jk axle. If done properly the ram should be mounted on top of the tie rod in a double shear configuration on both the tie rod clamp and the axle side tracbar bracket. It would be very difficult to damage the ram in that position. I would spend my money elsewhere. On a 60 with the highsteer configuration thats a different story

Here's a pic of mine. That's not getting damaged easily trust me. Is it possible? Sure but where would you even mount the skid? Under the tie rod welded to the axle tube?
Appreciate it bud!
BUT if there's someone out there that actually has a skid on theirs I'd still love to see it!
I swear Eddie or Cindy just posted a pic of Moby wheeling on another unrelated thread and you could see the skid under it. I'll see if I can find it.
