hydralic rams

I'm sure you're half way right, not convinced it's sheerly friction making them strong, If I could torque a 3/8 bolt to that I'm sure it would still break sooner, but what do I know, you're twice as OLD, so you must know twice as much:flipoff:

lets see a picture of his setup! if my memory is right I think the ram has an angle to it , that would be the first thing I would fix , also on these little axels preperation is key here is the list of what I did..........

-hot tanked the knuckes and chased threads
-arp studs on the top and red lock tight the studs top and bottom make sure the studs bottom out
-new trunion bearings and shims also take my time and shim it right
-marlin billet high steer arms with nuts torqued to 80lbs top and bottom
-ram setup right so it does not have any angle on the knuckle "pushing up or down is bad"
-double shear the 3/4 hiem off the ram to the high steer arm
-check all bolts on my front end everytime I go out so I can beat the snot out of it

here is my setup.

and another
