PSC ram assist hose routing

[Banjer Picker]

Finally getting around to installing the PSC ram assist on my wife's bronco. I'm not 100% sure how to route the hoses tho. There's a diagram on PSCs site but it's generic and says some ford applications my be different.

She has a 4x4x2 box that was ported for ram assist. The 2 ram ports are on the top side of the box fairly close to the input shaft.

Would love any input and/or pictures.

Thanks!

run them down the track bar to the ram. cycle the suspention to check for pinch pionts

I think he wants to know which port will have pressure when turning the wheel left and which port will have pressure when turning right??

I will look and see if I can find my link on this... http://cdn.wildhorses4x4.com/downloads/2004 08-08-06.pdf

Hope this helps

When you connect the hoses, keep the ram disconnected from the tie rod. When you cycle the steering, see if the ram extends and compresses when it's supposed to. If not, reverse the hoses. Put a zip tie on both ends of one hose so you can easily tell the hoses apart. You won't have to trace the hose to figure that out.
As buckwild said, routing along the track bar means you don't have to worry about length changes as the suspension cycles. Otherwise make sure there's enough slack.
Pack plugs and caps in your tool bag in case you damage the ram or bust a hose. You'll be able to remove it from the steering system.

Be nice to know which port does what ahead of time so you don't have to cut new hoses ... just saying "in a perfect world...".

...and gddyap is right, take some caps and plugs to isolate it just in case.
