    the point i was trying to make is not whether a brake failure is just as likely as a hydro line giving out..it is simply the major difference of what happens when you have complete steering failure..the sudden change of dirrection at highway speed would most likely flip the truck. Or on a two...

    i have just one fear of using the torque multiplier...what is the max load the stock steering box can handle before twisting the sector shaft?I am pretty sure it would be ok but it would be something to keep an eye on.If you were gonna piggy back something off the steering column to run a char...

    i don't know how you think you could come up with a hydrualic line that could never break?:cookoo:..That is the weak link.But it is your truck and if it is a risk you are willing to take go for it..I will stick to things with back ups.. Good luck with it
