I was playing around at work the other day resealing a side shift cylinder on a forklift and thought why don't people look at these for hydro steer they are a cascade double ended ram with flat mounts on the back and about simlar size as a psc kit and offer about 8'' of travel either way. also there common as and a new complete cylinder is around the $300 mark the only bit that would really need modifying to suit would be you would need to run a die over the ends so you could add a tie rod of some sort onto it. so im curious has anybody done simlar? as it seems like a more cost effective way .

cos you can get trail gear rams with clevis kits for less. and no need to run a die over anything
