I looked and looked but didn't find any specific CFR's about having only mechanical linkages. But for commercial purposes (Greyhound, tour busses, etc.) there is a steering lash requirement. And remember, these lash requirements must be met with the engine off in case of an emergency. Part...

I read it on about a thousand rock crawling websites. But I've never visited DOT to verify it. The rock crawlers use full hydraulic cylinder steering. And they have to trailer their rigs on the road b/c of it. I suppose if I have time I later I can try to find the regulation on mechanical...

DOT HS 808 878 That helps narrow down what Standards to look under. There are tens of thousands of pages of standards. The link above summarizes each section. I'm not sure what you were looking for, hydraulic steering or lift kits. Anyway, if it's NOT specifically in a standard then it's...

I can try. But I'm certainly not a lawyer. I don't think lift kits are illegal, nor are bumper height changes. Usually, there is a minimum/maximum bumper height requirement. As long as the lift doesn't exceed that I believe it's okay. Otherwise Rancho Suspension would have been out of...

I meant in the photo the two lines sticking out the top, nearest the front of the truck. That's where you circled to tap for a Ram in a previous post. I am curious, are you also running a ram with your conversion. Does it help during low speed/no speed turning? The Ram option is appealing to...

The only full hydraulics I'm aware of are for dedicated off-road purposes, heavy construction & rock crawling. DOT requires full mechanical connections in the event of hydraulic failure. RAM assist and RAM steering are similar but not the same.

Gringletaube, May I pick your brain a bit? If I purchase a 4 port Ross HF542996 like this one: Am I correct in reading previous posts that the top front two lines are for a Ram assist? This particular box is in a 1980 Ford LN700. What else would I have to purchase to mimic your install...
