    1.25 tube clamps

    I found 3 different ones that I am considering for my HA install. 2 are relatively close in price and the 3rd is a little more. Looks like a good solution for adding a movable tube clamp to the tie rod for the ram mount.

    Im leaning towards the Ballistic due to the DOM construction and 6 screw set up.

    What do yall think?

    Why not just weld it on? That way you limit the number of moving parts and something coming loose on the trail. Just my 2 cents.

    If I had to use any of those, the Ballistic ones look to be the best. I'd use some loctite red on the bolts though. Last thing I'd want is that thing slipping and jacking up my steering.

    I was thinking the same. Id probably trust a weld over 6 little screws.

    We might have the ballistic one if stock right now... They have been going through some "restructuring" as of late so getting product from them may be difficult

    Well, let's just say, their way to 'restructure' is going to kill them. You can't buy the kind of 'marketing' they're getting. I'd love to buy or some how get a company that was fucked up and save it.

    they build some really quality products and have an awesome facility (They're out of Tucson so I've stopped by a few times) but their shipping times are awful and they seem to overwhelm themselves with orders and cant keep up. I believe we are still waiting on some product from them...

    I tried to buy their 7/8's hiem steering setup a while ago.. it never arrived (always just another week out) so I cancelled and went with RuffStuff. Glad I did, it was a better quality rod end.

    They need someone like me. .

    Good organizations with crappy leadership sucks. To have good assetts without quality execution sucks. That is why middle of the road companies survive. Look at TG. No one would suggest they are the finest products. They have balance throughout their organization and execute with precision 99% of the time.

    I had this exact same problem, also ended up buy from ruff stuff. Now if ruff stuff would just get it together and make their own 14 bolt shave.
