So tapping into the stock box and adding a ram will be sufficient? What about cooling as I've read that the fluid heats up pretty rapidly also how does the stock pump hold up. I get light headed just thinking about dropping another couple thousand up front after the amount I just dropped on other upgrades. My biggest concern is if I'll get by with what I have or if it will be unsafe to drive. I understand there are things that could or should be done but my build is not being done all at once.

So far so good but not a ton of miles on it yet. I drilled tapped and dont have a cooler on mine. I have one laying around but not installed yet, am debating if ill use it there or on the tranny. I have a 1.5 ram. Pump seems ok, just a very very small lag on very quick turns.

I went with a 8" stroke but if i recall im only using around 6" as the steering box reaches its limit before the ram. I did lose some steering radius but id blame it on the longer wheelbase more than anything... Also keeps my stops from being what limits me so i dont pop a bj or knuckle loose with the ram.

I have been running a PR44 for about 2 years with RK Tie rod and drag link and have yet to find anything that works. Mine drives fine without a SS as long as you keep up on maintenance.

I've been running a diy setup for over a year and haven't had any issues. Stock pump, 14" dual pass cooler, and 1.5" ram. My only complaint is that the ATF always finds a way to leak out of the ram. From the research I've done, its pretty common.

PSC 1.5" 6.75 stroke. It basically squeezes out past the rod seal as a fine mist that coats half the axle. I have a feeling it happens when my 45 mph tire shimmy goes nuts because it didn't happen when I actually managed to get my MTR's balanced (which didn't last very long).
The fluid level never really drops so It doesn't bother me much at this point. I just make a point to hit it with the power washer when I wash the Heep.
