Here are the finished hydro assist pics. I made a new bracket for the top of the diff. It's made out of 2"x 2" x 3/16". I tried to place the ram as perfectly in line with the tie rod as possible to try and get rid of the ram rotating the tie rod. I also tried to get it as close to keep the leverage factor down on the bracket welded to the tie rod.

As close and as parallel as possible. Close enough that I have to undo the passenger side hiem from the steering arm to get the bolt in and out of the diff bracket.

It makes slight contact at full steer L&R. I have a new bolt with the head half shaved off to replace it.

I just used the TG tie rod bracket I had bought from the first time I installed the assist. I cut it down and just welded it to the tie rod rather than having it on a clamp.
