Hey Kenneth, yes the stroke is the length it travels in and out. Overall length is when it's retracted. Is that where yours measured 66.5?

I spoke with Dawn yesterday about it. The language is important to us diyers . I gleaned that the length must be retracted not extended but I didn't understand why so I measured the extended length. Port to port is important but I didn't figure that out until I was talking with Dawn. The adjective,hydraulic, with port would have been helpful. Anyhow, I have the cylinder coming which is the replacement for mine which is no longer available. I did have a? about the outboard attachment for the ram. My outboard ram has two jam nuts on the inside of the bracket and a large nut which is not tightened to the outboard bracket. Don't understand why the outboard nut is not tightened. It's probably 3-4" off the bracket. Is that the proper mounting.
