ya they do see way smaller. they only measure about 34" with about 4-5 psi...but i think they will work alot better with my gearing than bigger tires right now.

ill get some pics here soon. still have to finish up my ps stuff. i need to get my truck to my dads to weld the steering box mount on. after that it will be ready to go 

[TheCookieMonster]

got all the brackets, pulley's and pump on



mounted the reservoir this morning



just need to mount the box with my marlin mount, get a ps cooler, and a wrench to get the high press. line off my other pump, and a belt  ..its gettin there

[I.D.G.A.F]

Are you going with the stock cooler or automatic tranny type?

got my box mount welded on and painted



also picked up an auto tranny cooler off a newer ford ranger for $10 at the junkyard. had to make a little bracket to mount it off the hood latch bolt. worked out nice. also plumbed everything up



everything is on now just need to extend my steering rod that goes from the firewall to the box. bleed the system and it should be ready. 

[I.D.G.A.F]

"trail-gear" has a nice tech page on how to bleed the system

[TheCookieMonster]

all lines, belt, and what not installed



box is on



got the box pretty far forward. its right around 2 1/2 in. farther forward of where it was before. should be enough for rears up front



got my steering rod to slide finially. cleaned it up and painted it today



once that dry's im going to go put it on and try everything out 

[TheCookieMonster]

got everything done. had to bleed it for a while but once that was done it was working good. seems to squeel a bit at high rpm but still may need bled a lil more. works great at an idle and everything is smooth. the pump pulley seems a bit bent so i think im gonna swap that out tmr. What a difference

Yup my truck is the bare bones base model, no Tach, no fancy gauges. It does have AC though... The cluster has temp, fuel, speedometer, and odometer thats it.
