Sounds like this is a can of worms.

You might want to search the 4x4 board first.

I am a 2x4 guy so I have no clue.

Coil sprung front Ford 4x4 guys like the 73 to 79 F-150 4x4 power steering box. It mounts different from your stock box, but isn't too hard to install. If you want ram assist in addition to the box you can drill and tap any power steering box to supply a ram with pressure.

You guys thought I was going to fly off the handle about power assist didn'tcha? Maybe if it was a 250 question, but he's got a 100.

Max, F250 hiboys ( and a lot of other vehicles) used a power assist system that has a hydraulic cylinder anchored to the front axle.The other end of the cylinder is attached to the tie rods.The cylinder is controlled by a valve that is part of the drag link.When the steering wheel is turned the valve directs the fluid to push or pull the cylinder as needed.
