I have seen a few with rams over the years, here in oz but all the pics i find on the net are LHD ones.... but as i am waiting on it lets just hope for the best LOL

Was done by Ian from Ipswich on here, he pulled it apart and figured out where to drill and tap easy enough.
Ram was a trail gear unit from the us, dunno par numbers.
It was mounted as a hydro assist in place of the steering dampener, but then the Tj has high steer, 1/2 ton TRE's and fabbed steering links etc,
As a minimum you would have to junk the stock arm and bolt in an aftermarket unit you could weld to to mount the ram in the right position.

Check the build thread here....

If you go to the build up threads and find Ian,s tj buildup On page 8 there is info on the steering box . This thred is locked so I don't know if you will find it in search.
