I do have the f-150 box but I haven't done a lot of research on the ram steering yet. I'm just going to run it like it is for now and see what happens. I have a feeling that ram steering may be in my future though. Let me know what you find out. Thanks.

Why not 4-1 klune to a 205?
You get:
53-1 klune high/205 low
109.7-1 klune low/ 205 high
215-1 klune low/ 205 low70 eb 60f 14b mild 302 435-klune 4-1-np205 and some dents

Im not forced in the sense that I have no options. I was under a false understanding that the 203/205 was a 2:1 and 3:1 ratio, which would be a kick as combo at a cheaper price. That ratio is the combo I want so as far as I know the Klune and atlas setup is the closest match, so I can have a versital rig.

Well....I took your advice and ran steel fuel line along the top of my frame rails. On the passenger side where the fuel line goes right under the header, I fabbed up a little heat shield to protect the fuel from getting so hot. Thanks for the advice!

Originally posted by FordCoreThere it is! I thought the 205 had a 3:1 ratio. I could have sworn that Carl mentioned that the 205 was 3:1. If that is the case I gotta do a different setup.

If you want a bomb proof steering system then go with the Red Neck ram it works great. I got mine in a couple weeks back and the front end feels SOLID. I would highly recommend it. FM72EB, one-ton fab project that will never end

Originally posted by FamilymanHey I agree with the 205 to klune set-up. The 205 is basically 2:1 and the klune could either be 2.7:1 or 4:1 your choice. Either way thats alot of gears. I have buddies with 200:1 final gears and they RARELY use them. Just be careful its easy to go into overkill.

HOw much does the Klune lengthen the drive train??“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.” TJ

Well...I welded in some rear inner fender cut outs from a donor EB in order to stretch inner fenders out enough to get those big ol' 38.5 up in there. Stretched the front inner fender wells too. Notched the core support forward about 2 inches and now it's on the trailer to take it over to have the Super Liner shot inside, underneath and in the engine bay. I can't wait to get it back!

SOB.. that is going to be a nice rig when it is all said and done. I would LOVE to be there the first time you lay it in to a rock...ever so gently. (and it will happen) I used to have a really clean rig...one dent turned into a body swap plan.“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.” TJ
