You never want a hydro ram mounted to the tie rod anywhere but right near the end's. It will then double as a hydraulic tie rod bender.

nickles and dimes turn into $5s and $10s real quick:booo: I am already over budget and havent even started on the body yet. Cage will be the next expensive item though since I am reusing so much of the old jeep.
