full hydro would be nice but too expensive, hydro assist seems the best way to go. not many boxes fit other makes (all toyotas are different nearly) so ull need to mod shit anyway. may aswell put a 60 box outside chassisand work from there. superior or MIKE topfa will help with mounting it im sure $$$$$$$$$ the rest is up to what you can source.

what do you plan to run for the ram?
