DIY Hydraulic Ram Steering
Has anyone done a write up for one? Im sick of my current steering due to the fact that with my plow on I can barely turn my wheel. Has anyone crossed this bridge already?

Have you thought about doing a Saginaw pump swap? It's easy to do, will provide more boost to the steering box so you can actually steer, and Saginaw pumps are totally silent so no more PS whine.

Take the fitting out of your ps pump where the pressure hose goes in and drill it out 1 or 2 sizes, you need just a litttttttle bit more.
Made a huge difference on my truck.
you don't want to go too much or it won't work properly.

Have you ever done that to an SD before? The steering on mine SUCKS. If I'm stopped on pavement I cannot turn the wheels at all until I start rolling. I can pull as hard as I can on the wheel and it just won't turn. LOL
