hydro assist ?

Does anyone make a 7 in. travel hydrolic single end ram

I know TSC has an 8" and that will work if you need 7" of travel.

Use a 8 inch ram limit internally 1 inch With delrine, most place you have to buy a whole stick but its pretty inexpensive. You will need a 1/4 gap between the delrine and bore for the fluid to return.

Dont the toyota guys use 7" rams for asst.?

There was one on Pirate here lately cheap i think.

I thought yptas used a six inch. but if they use seven trail gear would sell them.

It is a hard plastic, that does not wear easily,

Heres another way to limit travel. Never seen this done til I got this rig.
Has a piece of aluminum sleeved over the shaft. May have been link material and drilled to fit works though.

Places like TSC or the CO-OP, have clip on spacers you can buy. Should be cheap.

Completely forgot about them, we use them on farm equipment to set depth of something thats raised/lowered via. hydro. cyl.
They are two alum. haves with a spring/retainer wrapped around them, with a opening. Hard to explain, but should work.

Same thing we've used on hydraulic cylinders before. Much easier to use than taking apart a cylinder to internally limit.

EDIT: Also in a farm situation, but I don't see why it wouldn't work with a good steering cylinder on an offroad vehicle.

yeah, found them on TSCs site

If you have a local AG supply or tractor dealership near by, they would proally have a bigger selection of sizes.

In Knoxville we got it from a plastic supply place off Broadway. Not sure to tell you where to get it out of town. But it is the same stuff that you see on rock buggies to help them slid over rocks just in cylendar form. A race shop helped us find a place locally.

McMaster-Carr has that UHMW in cylinder form if you decide to go that route.

I'd do an external stop and call it good.
