Orbital (Steering Control Valve)

All of Trail-Gear’s orbitals (steering control valves) have a built in return-to-center function. This means that when the driver releases the wheel the tires will automatically return to the center position. This is a convenient feature that allows for slow rock crawling or driving at higher speeds. The amount of turns it takes to get from lock to lock will depend on what ram you combine with your orbital. We have included a chart that will tell you exactly how many turns it will take to get from lock to lock with the different orbital/ram combinations, with the recommended combinations in bold blue letters.

Rock Assault™ Double Ended Ram and Clevis Kits

Double Ended Ram and Clevis Kits

Through years of research, development, and testing we at Trail-Gear have developed our double ended ram to meet the tough demands of top level rock crawling competitors and the toughest trails in the world. Based on our experience we knew exactly what we wanted in a ram, and what we didn't.

Double Ended Ram and Clevis KitsMost rams on the market only have one rod seal.  We started with the primary and secondary rod seal to insure that fluid leakage would never be an issue.  We also included two wiper seals in our design to make sure that dirt and debris stay on the trail and don't get into your steering system. In addition, we designed our ram with a Triple Lip Piston Seal for consistent steering with no drift or fluid bypassing the piston.

Double Ended Ram and Clevis KitsIn true Trail-Gear style we also had to make our ram the strongest on the market, so we added a feature that you will not see on any other ram on the market.  We designed ours with a piston wear band and a rod bushing.  The bushing allows the rod to absorb much higher side loads.  We also machined our piston shaft out of a single piece of 4340 chromoly.  Other rams on the market use a two-piece welded or threaded piston shaft that can fail under severe loads.

Our Double Ended Ram and Clevis Kits have a 6", 8", or 10" stroke x 2.25" bore x 1.125” rod.  The cylinder has a black zinc-plate finish while the rod has 3/4x16 female threads on each end and is made entirely out of 4340 chromoly material.

The 6 inch ram and clevis kit has 6 total inches of travel and is perfect for Toyota's and narrowed Dana 44's.

The 8 inch ram and clevis kit has 8 total inches of travel and was made to work with Dana 44's and custom length Dana 60 applications.

The 10 inch ram and clevis kit has 10 total inches of travel and is used for buggies and comp rigs with up to 45 degree steering radius.

  • (1) 6", 8", or 10" Double Ended Ram

When you have invested thousands of dollars into your full hydraulic steering system, you will want to protect it with the best reservoir and filter that you can get.  That is why Trail-Gear has developed our new Rock Assault™ Reservoir.  It is not only heavy duty, but also compact and user friendly. It features a full size hydraulic oil filer that will keep all the bad stuff out of your power steering pump and hydraulic ram. Our Rock Assault™ Reservoir also comes with an internal baffle, features two internal magnets, and is completely sealed with top quality o-rings to prevent any fluid leakage.

Double Ended Ram Mounting Kit

This kit will take almost all the fabrication work out of mounting your Rock Assault™ Double Ended Ram and Clevis Kit to almost any axle housing. The main support tube is 1.5" diameter, .120" wall, 1035 DOM, comes pre-bent, and can be trimmed to size and coped on the ends for a custom fit.

Tie Rod Kit

Trail-Gear has made the perfect kit for building tie rod links for use with a double-ended ram. Based on our testing and experience with kits like these, we know that the failure point is always in the tie rod ends, which is why Trail-Gear uses only our own brand of Chromo Rod Ends. The main body of each rod end is 100% 4340 chromoly, and the ball of each rod end is made out of AISI 52100 material and then hard chrome-plated for an extremely tough finish.  We also added tie rod tubing that is 100% seamless DOM, and to top it off the weld in bungs are machined out of solid billet. With these components in place we feel that this kit is so strong it stands apart from every other kit on the market.

This kit is also perfect match for our Rock Assault™ Double Ended Ram and Clevis Kits.

Rock-AssaultTM Ram Steering

The Rock-AssaultTM Ram Steering assist kit is the best kit you will find anywhere! Our Toyota kit features a 6" X 1.5" stroke hydraulic ram with high temp inner and outer seals for long life and no leaks. Our specially designed ram features a 3/4" rod that is 50% stronger than other 1/2" rods on the market. For Dana knuckle applications we also offer an 8" stroke version.

Our specially formed, easy to install brackets make installing our kit a breeze. If you have looked at other kits on the market, you will see they either don't include mounts or they just provide generic tabs. Our mounting hardware is specially designed to fit the Toyota axle and High Steer. Once the steering box has been tapped, installation of the ram takes about one hour. Each bracket is formed from heavy-duty 1/4" plate steel for extra strength. Fits 1979 - 1995 Toyota Pickup and 4Runner with solid front axle.

Included with each ram kit:

  • Ram with high temp inner and outer seals
  • Rod ends w/jam nut
  • Ram bracket for axle housing
  • Ram bracket for tie rod
  • (2) Hoses
  • (2) JIC 90 degree elbows
  • Mounting Hardware
  • Instructions w/photos

Kit requires:

  • High Steer crossover steering with 1.25" tie rod
  • Tapped steering box

Application Notes:

If you purchase a tapped steering box from Trail-Gear, the box will include two, 1/4" pipe to JIC fittings on the box. If you will be tapping your own steering box, you will need to purchase a pair of 1/4" to JIC #6 fittings for the steering box. The Trail-Gear part number for this fitting is 130263-1 and they can be purchased here.

Adding a ram assist steering to a truck with the stock power steering pump will slow the steering noticeably. While it will take less steering wheel effort to turn the wheels, but it will take a little longer time to to turn the wheels, especially at low engine rpm's. The larger the ram bore then more noticeable the slowness becomes. If you are planning to use the stock Toyota power steering pump we recommend using the 1.5" ram. We strongly recommend using a high volume/pressure "TC" style pump when using 2" bore rams. On V6 applications, the oil pan may need to be modified or replaced to make room for the ram.
