Steering ram hose
Beware of using AN lines on hydro assist. When I first put it all on it didn't work very good so I called AGR and they said that just tapping into the box was not all that there was to it. There were internal mods that had to be made for one finger steering at a stop. Mine would actually cut out at slow speeds in a tight turn but it did make a big difference driving down the road so I just left it at that thinking that was as good as it gets till I spent the cash and had them go through the box. It blew a line out on the road so I just took it all off right there to get it home. I decided to put it back on and had real hydraulic lines made up and now it's like night and day, it's not one finger steering at a stop but it doesn't cut out anymore and it works good enough as far as I'm concerened. I never would have thought that the AN hose was swelling causing it not to work right, but it was. So anyone adding hydro assist, don't even bother making up AN lines for it, it won't work right.

Normal braided hose isn't intended for a whole lot of pressure - like steering and brakes. Some companies do sell high pressure stuff though but obviously its much more expensive than the already extremely overpriced regular braided stuff.
Most people use regular hydraulic lines from the get-go anyway. You were just showin' off da' bling.
