Hypothetically...

If I could somehow fit huge wheels with no suspension lift - and therefore couldn't fit high-steer - but wanted easier and more durable steering than ye olde push-pull alone, could I just replace the steering stabilizer with a hydraulic ram (and all the plumbing)? Supposing I still break the J-arm at an inconvenient time, would it be reasonable to rely on just the hydro ram to make it home?
