[QUOTE="P, post: 24415, member: 3"] Im leaning towards SE ram . I dont feel comfortable with the arms I got from Zukini for this project, not in the state they are in and Id spend more money and time getting proper hardware and or machining them to work than I care to. Which would lead me to spending another 200 + for a ready to go off the shelf set of arms. Hell for that much time and effort to run the ram I have from you ( still needing to fab clevis ends and a mount so on and so forth ) its more cost effective for me to order the SE comp ram for the PSC system Ive already purchased and be setup "parts correct" Yes I can make all the DE ram and the arms I have work. NO I dont feel its worth the time that will be required. I also feel like an SE ram will be less maintenance long term. Driving Matts Jeep with a good SE ram and driving several rigs with DE rams, I can say honestly I cant "feel" a difference in performance. Ive seen blingy DE rams fail, Ive never seen an SE ram fail. Not sayin it doesnt happen, but I sure havent seen it happen in person. Boils down to K.I.S.S. I can run a Tierod off the top of the factory position of the Knuckle and protect or not and I think for me, it will be just fine. ( if I can sell the SM465 it will cover the PSC comp SE ram Ive been eyeballin as well. ) Another benifit is if there is a Tierod failure in a comp or I bend the **** out of one, I can easily afford to have one ready to go as a spare prior to race day each and every race day. Simple answer I was going to originally post... SE down low, It better fits my budget, timeline and work load. I still have ALOT of work load and adding more to be blingy is gay. Clearance on the tierod Im not really concerned with... i can protect it with a plow just as easily as I would have to if I went DE. [/QUOTE]
