I'm not too clued up on it yet, but Bruce from offroad boss is helping me with mine. talking about being able to tap into the steering box to power the ram. give them a call

Hey mate i have Hydro Assist on my GQ which has a GU front diff and power steering box.
I got my whole set up from Chris at
http://www.locktup4x4.com.au Im using the Trail Gear power steering pump and hyro assist kit. just get in contact with chris and tell him what you want to do. you will need a 7-8" ram. i have a bit of a build up on my site here

The hydro works really well i can now turn 40" sticky treps with one finger at idel, you just need to get the ram mounted up nice and parralell with the drag link other wise you will get ram rotation and feel it back through the steering.

how much did the hydro assist cost you to set up mate and whats it like in high speed stuff? do you get any feedback through the wheel or is it just video game like handling if you know what i mean
