[QUOTE="Eddyj, post: 482673, member: 3779"] The rockwell with stock steering and tie rod has approximately 9 inch stroke when using a single ended hydraulic ram mounted to the housing and tie rod. I had to do an internal stop to limit the stroke of my 10 inch ram to 9. First I attached the ram and fully extended it. I the. Moved it back about a 1/4 inch. I prefer the ram being the stop not the stops on the knuckles. That way your ram is not pushing against your tie for and heims. Then I marked the shaft with a sharpie. The ram I used was an inexpensive ag ram from tsc. It is easily disassembled by removing the four long rods holding the ends on. The ends are removed with a small hamer as they are just held in with O rings. Putting the mark back I the same position it was made. You can measure from the piston to the end cap. Cut a piece of piece of tube that length. (See pic) Then remove the piston fron the rod. • Do not remove the clevis from the end of rod and pull it through the seal• this wil damage the seal. Place tube over shaft and replace piston. Reassemble ram. As always it is important to do this in a clean area, as to not get any debris in the cylinder. [/QUOTE]
