A full-hydro steering conversion on a Ford Super Duty Dana 60 lives or dies by how the ram is mounted, and this Artec Industries mount solves it while armoring the axle at the same time. Built from 1/4" mild steel, it clamps a double-ended hydraulic ram to the front of the housing and doubles as an axle skid that shields the ram and tie rod from rock strikes while spanning the tube to resist bending and shearing. It fits both 1999-2004 and 2005-and-up Super Duty front 60s and is the mounting foundation for a Super Duty full-hydro setup.
Features
- 1/4" mild steel ram mount and gussets, precision laser cut and CNC bent
- Fits both 1999-2004 and 2005+ Ford Super Duty front Dana 60 axles
- Engineered around PSC Motorsports and Howe Performance 2.5" and 2.75" double-ended rams
- Integrated skid protects the ram and tie rod and reinforces the axle tube end to end
- Mounting blocks center and secure the steering cylinder
- Drainage holes shed mud and trim weight
Installation is serious fabrication work: the mount welds to the housing, and the driver side requires trimming roughly 2" of housing casting, so only a competent welder should take it on — mock up the ram and tie rod alignment before tack welding. Complete the steering with the Full Hydro Weld-On High Steer Arms and Super Duty Full Hydro Tie Rod Kit. Running a different housing? See the Dana 60 Full Hydro Ram Mount (No Truss) or the DIY Ram Mount, and browse all hydraulic steering kits.

Super Duty Dana 60 Full Hydro Ram Mount FAQs
Which axles does this mount fit?
It fits Ford Super Duty front Dana 60 axles from both the 1999-2004 and 2005-and-up eras. If your build uses a Chevy, Dodge, or older Ford kingpin 60 instead, Artec makes housing-specific versions of this mount — see the Dana 60 Full Hydro Ram Mount (No Truss).
What hydraulic rams will it accept?
It is engineered around PSC Motorsports and Howe Performance double-ended rams in 2.5" and 2.75" cylinder diameters, with mounting blocks that center and secure the cylinder. You supply the ram, hoses, and the rest of the hydraulic system — this is the mount and skid only.
How involved is the installation?
This is a fabrication-level job. The mount welds to the housing, the driver side requires trimming roughly 2" of housing casting, and the ram shaft must be mocked up in line with the tie rod before anything is tacked. Only a competent welder should install it, and the bare steel needs primer and paint afterward.
