I have a hydro assist jeep now and a full hydro as well. The full hydro is a TSC setup and is cheap and has horrible road manners. Assist setup is nice. I ran a complete howe setup on a buggy but never really got to use it on 80 mph highways but it saw 110 mph in a mudhole quite often! Thinking of taping the stock steering box and making a ram assist setup and getting rid of the full hydro single ended ram.
