The AGR Performance Rock Ram. - Off-Road.com
Big wheels and tires can sometimes mean big sacrifice in steering. As Project Retro F-350 began to shape up, we noticed the meaty 40-inch tires stuffed under the 1-ton axles were making steering a real challenge especially when moving slow or stopped. The factory power steering was having a heck of a time trying to swing that much rubber around. We contacted AGR Performance out of Ft. Worth, Texas. We were familiar with AGR Performance on competition rigs and hard-core rock crawlers. We spoke with Larry Szuhy at AGR Performance about our 1979 Ford F-350 and its steering woes. He suggested we try the AGR Performance Rock Ram system. The hydraulic assist and higher flow pump and heavy-duty gearbox would make turning the 40s much easier. Because of the vintage of the truck, we had to remove our factory steering gear box and hydraulic steering pump to send into AGR Performance. AGR has most of the late model truck, 4x4 and Jeep parts in stock. Once AGR Performance had our parts in hand they re-worked them for more flow, added heavy-duty performance internals and completed the system with their AGR Rock Ram. Source: www.off-road.com
