Its a good ram. I have had mine for around 7 years know with no problems. Will have to check but I think I went with the 1.5 shaft.
 
Going full hydraulic?

My 60 has an 8 inch ram.
When I talked to the steering experts, the larger bore equals increased pressure, but slower speed.
I opted for a single ended ram, 1.5 inch, as an assist only.
 
I run a Howe 2.5 10", their stuff is expensive but best **** on the market. Their race support/customer service is awesome. I'd run trail gear before psc.. I honestly don't think I've talked to anybody that has good things to say about psc...
if your close to dodge width I'd run a 10" ram we put an 8" on one of our cars with a dodge 60 and it just didn't have enough steering, we swapped out and went to a 10"

How wide is your front? My ram total shaft length is 26"
I guess the only worry you'd have is over steering the u joints... you could always have Branik clearance them as well

Width is a moot point though when it comes to travel and just as I thought its about 7 7/8" travel lock to lock so a 8" will work. So its a matter of de-stroking an 8" about 1/4"--which I have done numerous times.

I didn't word my question properly, but you did answer it hahaha!
 
Get your shafts clearanced, or run spidertrax 60 shafts. The extra steering is priceless. I'll never run anything but howe again.
 
I run a 3" Howe ram that's a 10" stroke. For the time it has been destroked to 8". Now that I have Brandik shafts that are good for 50* steering I have the option to go full 10" if I get off these 44s.
 
Howe seems to make the best product, but i and many others have had no issues with the psc rams.
 
I run a full howe system and im very happy. I here that a howe pump with a psc double ended ram is supposed to be the best setup.
