Jeep JK Ram Assist DIY UNDER $300!!

In this video, I show you how to install a Ram assist system that I installed on my own jeep.
This will work specifically for the Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU.

Parts that I used:
Power Steering hoses were purchased locally. They were $20 for each hose to be made.

Grand total I paid - $292

Huh this is a pretty neat idea. I'd definitely look into doing this on my ZJ if I weren't already planning on replacing the pump as it's like 25 years old and a little noisy at times lol

shortcut= the longest distance between two points. thanks for the parts breakdown

That sector shaft will break now. May wanna brace it.
Great video 🔥

[TheRambler-pzgx]

Just a heads up.
I have seen 3 people with ported JK boxes, and ram assist break a sector shaft on the trail.
no clue how its possible. My assumption is the pressure inst 1:1 in the ram vs the box. thus force is being applied to the sector shaft, or the ram is over steering the box thus breaking the sector shaft.

I don't know about the JK, but on the JL I'd say that the steering stabilizer mount isn't really a strong enough anchor for hydro RAM. I did a full PSC system and had some fabrication done on that end. You might want to keep an eye on that. Also, despite the magnet, I'd still be nervous about shavings that could possibly fall into the steering box when porting it this way. That's just me though...

How do you flash the metal shavings out after drilling

[thebakery]

When you do this it’s a good idea to clean it first at least. You really want to rebuild it when you do this cuz of more pressure. Also clean out the inside cuz ya just put shavings in it.

What size were the hoses that you got locally made 1/4”?

[nathanverhulst]

I’m about to set mine up with the ram in pretty much the exact same setup. Which port on the steering box did you run to the stationary side of the psc ram? Would definitely save me some time if I knew before I hook up my lines for first test

[njeffs]

Is the 8” ram travel to much for the stock throw in the steering?

[Leeser_Forge]

How were the road manners after this? I wheel enough to need assist but I drive my JK on road frequently as well

[tijdrovers]

How Does it drive on main Road? Does it steer automatic to centre like stock setup…?

[joshgrier]

How has this gone for you, have you upgraded to 40s? Thoughts on going to the 1.75 over 1.5 stroke?

[MilekOffRoad]

Hi, Ive question, you leave of course stock Pump and so on, any issues with Pump so far ?:-)

[tazito]

what did you do with the coolant reservoir hitting the hoses out f the box?

[jacksjeepinchannel]

Are there torque specs for the lines? About to replace my ram because I bent the shaft.

[adambatchelder]

The ram kit in your video is now 324.00

[mdntblu]

The ram just 5 months later is showing $343. Crazy inflation.

[tazito]

and drilled it in place so now all the shavings are in the box🤦

[spriggs]

This is not under 300 anymore the ram alone is 350 😢
