Full hydro is kind of scary at speed. I just pieced together my assist and I think i'm right around 150. That's hoses fittings and 2"x 8" stroke cylinder. East coast gear sells a kit fit like 250 I believe

Hydro will not stress the ball joints if done correctly... just makes them twist... people run full hydro on D44's and assist without issues, even the toyota axles... I wouldn't worry about it, or let that make any bit of your dissicion.

Well I'm 90% sure I'm gonna do hydro assist but.... I'm still thinkin ha. I already ordered my steering kit from ballistic fab so there's 160$ down the drain if I do go full hydro.
