76 highboy steering damper

is it possible to add a steering damper with the stock slave cylinder? I'm running 36.5 x 14 tires and its getting annoying fighting the steering wheel.

Sure it is possible, but your steering issues are probably an indication of other problems. Steering dampers are really a band aid to a steering problem, and not really the solution. Find out why you have to struggle, or fight the wheel and you will be much happier with the results.

I tried but there's not much room with the ram-assist cylinder in the way. It would take a bit of fabricating if you really needed to put one on. Like what was said above, that's just a band-aid for other problems.
