Hydraulic Ram for Rogue Fab Bender

['84 Bronco II]

I am getting ready to order up a Rogue M625 bender, but I noticed that it looks like the Harbor Freight PN 56215 ram (supersedes 94562) has been discontinued. Does anybody have another go-to cheapo air over hydraulic ram that works with these benders? Obviously the electro-hydraulic setups are , but I just want the cheapest option to get me up and running for now and make the upgrade down the road.

Rogue specs the ideal ram size as 24.75″ collapsed length (eye-to-eye) and 19.25″ travel, and states that Northern Tool PN 46200 is the absolute longest ram that will fit their bender at 24.95" collapsed eye-eye.

I picked one up for much cheaper than that a while back from Facebook. Seller didn't know what he had or how it worked.

Just buy on eBay or Amazon.

If HF isn't importing the ram anymore someone else probably is.

Thanks guys, that eBay one is a little short, but probably fine if I don't need to hit 90° on a single pull very often, worst case, buying the one from Northern tool is still a bit cheaper than buying directly from Rogue. My take away here is go with whichever Chinese ram you can find. Sucks the Harbor freight one has been discontinued since it sounds like that was what Rogue designed around and I could have picked one up locally and as cheap or cheaper than anywhere online.
