Full hydro: sacrifice double shear for better tie rod angles?
Whipping up a full hydro setup for my WJ after hydro assist proved to not be enough for 40s at single digit pressures.
This is where the ram had to land due to packaging and clearance constraints. I could retain double shear at the knuckle ends of the tie rods, but that would put the tie rods at an angle. On the other hand if I chose to mount them on top of the high steer arms in single shear, that would basically put the tie rods perfectly parallel.
It’s obviously not a rock bouncer or ultra4 rig, but I do want to maximize strength wherever possible.
Which would you guys choose as a compromise?
