I doubt that most would need one in this type of expected use since they're really intended to push a 42" tire into a rock and make the rock move.
However, I've pondered the idea of using a small bore, say 1" or perhaps less, as an active steering damper. The reasoning behind the small bore size is fluid flow & volume demands on the pump. In reading about those using larger bores on pavement I have encountered complaints of slowed steering response due to the pump falling behind. My thinking was that I'd rather use a smaller bore than hop up the pump.

if thats the case then Yes I think its a great idea if you have the money. I could not believe the difference in steering control after I added the hydro assist. I went from wandering all over the road to actually being able to keep it in one lane. Yes alot was suspension geometry causing my problems but the steering control on the hiway was a bonus. At first my ram was too big(never thought I would say that!) and steering response was slow. Once I switched to smaller ram it worked great.
