Running hydro assist with aluminum tie rod
Hey guys and gals. Well finally going to transition to Hydraulic assist. I am currently running the RK HD aluminum tie rod. Will there be any issues with it and using a clamp rather than welded tabs. I'm not opposed to going with the poly but that'll push me back another month. Insight, comments and bullshit welcomed.

Its a solid rod so a clamp would be fine. Use one of the heavy duty clamps like what synergy or ballistic offer and weld a double sheer to it. Make sure the assist cylinder is mounted paralell to the tie rod to keep stress of the tre's

Exactly. I have the RK aluminum tie rod as well and am in the middle of doing exactly what Dirtman said.
