[QUOTE="zombiekiller, post: 1383705, member: 25186"] some may scoff at the idea, but whatever, I think it is pretty interesting. With the advent of the electric rack in the gen2s, having to swap the rack in my truck, and timing it, I'm a big fan of electric racks now. 20 mins to swap a rack and no bleeding, fluid and especially, no more requirement for a PS pump is awesome. There is a company out there called EPAS performance. The sell a rack that would be a perfect fit for the raptor chassis. The rack has adjustable assistance and ratio metrics. You can adjust in-cab via a dial. If you didn't want to do a FULL rack swap, they also make a unit that is designed to mount inline in the middle of the steering shaft, that again you can manipulate assistance and ratio with via a dial in-cab. I haven't tried one of these units yet. They are 2100 for the kit. I started doing research in the event that I am unable to map the BCM/TCM/ABS in my gen2 to a V8 swap that I'm planning. The EPAS perf unit will bolt right up to the factory crossmember and might be what I need to do. ( along with a full truck re-wire.) All that being said, after I'm complete on my raptor, and I look towards my next build, I 100% plan to use an electric rack. ( this way i can run a second alternator on the accessory drive without complicating the accessory drive clearances.) Might be something to research and consider. If you just want a traditional fluid rack with a quicker ratio, call up howe and tell them what ratio you want. They'll tell you what to buy. [/QUOTE]
