How does the stock pump do with the ram assist? I have heard that it's not powerful enough to run it.

it actually is powering it now i can steer with my pinky but it has a slight wine over 3k rpm but there is a leak on one of the hose ends, i think it needs to be tighten hopefully the wine stops.

Super clean. Looks like it flexes really well. Makes me want to ditch my leafsprings.

Got any more pics of your rear bumper?
